There is never one type of performer. It would be like suggesting there’s only one kind of food group. The diversity and unique characteristics a person can bring to their acts are limitless.
It would be reasonable to assume then, that these artists perform at plenty of events, right? Unfortunately, that isn’t the case. Despite the hoards of talent that exist, the standard singer/band or comedian are usually the ones promoted for hire. While there’s nothing wrong with this kind of performer, it gives the impression that other styles are unfavorably welcomed.
The atmosphere and purpose of the celebration always set the tone, of course, but part of the problem may also be that the planners are unaware of what other entertainment can get out of a crowd. Even if it’s a bit more obscure, that’s what will grab a person’s attention.
Next time you’re hiring for an event, consider these creative options to help bring life into an event.
Magician
Don’t think about the ones brought to entertain a middle school. There are plenty of professionals that do travel shows and perform in clubs.
The typical stigma for magicians has slowly faded, providing opportunities for more challenging and elite tricks to be created. There are even shows in Las Vegas dedicated to late night magicians. This type of performer offers an engaging experience, while still keeping things lighthearted. If you do decide to hire one, be sure to see their portfolio of previous performances and watch any videos displaying one of their full acts.
Shadow Performers
It’s about as cool as it sounds. Considered a style of dance, these dancers perform in front of a screen that can change colors and show effects, all while the rest of the room is dark.
The unique storytelling told by their movements is beautifully highlighted in this art. It immediately catches your eye and immerses you in the music, while still maintaining an understood silence between the performers and the audience.
Mentalist
No, they didn’t escape from an institution. Sometimes thrown into the category of mediums or psychics, mentalists’ specialty is demonstrating their highly developed mental and intuitive abilities. The fun comes from making the audience guess if their type of “magic” is real or fake. They more so invoke belief in a spectator and offer proof that what is happening at the moment is real.
While the style of performance may be up to personal preference, the right hiring choice could make for an enlightening evening.
The booking choices for entertainers are extensive when you consider other forms of art. Ventriloquists, fire dancers, even a hypnotist, can captivate an audience. Although a corporate party might require a classier performance, it’s still worth offering a different experience for your guests. It’s good to remember that the world isn’t built on continuous similarities.
