Luxurious theme ideas for festive entertainment and New Year’s Eve celebrations that stand out

Welcome to our three-part series delving into why entertainment is such an important factor in your brand loyalty and guest engagement strategies and how to make entertainment work for you. In this last article I suggest a few theme ideas to inspire you for the festive season 2018 and beyond.

Unika’s event planners have worked on hundreds of events and concepts ideas. Our audiences have experienced dance in traditional event venues and in novel spaces. They have seen short dance interventions and large evening-length concepts. The result: Unika knows what works best for each of our clients. Which means we know how to create entertainment that will leave your guests with an unforgettable experience.

Energetic and colourful

The carnival is a favourite with our clients and audiences. You, too, can capture the colours, sounds and spirit of the world-famous carnival of Rio de Janeiro.

• vibrant, luxurious and authentic costumes straight from Brazil
• exciting and high-energy choreography
• a soundtrack of original carnival music and a band of live drummers
• expand for a Latin Fever Experience with Latin & Ballroom dances, Cuban music and martial artists and specialist acts

Iconic and eclectic

Bring to life an iconic moment in entertainment history such as Madonna’s show-stopping performance of ‘Vogue’ at the 1990 MTV Music Awards. Be inspired by the lavish Baroque period and imagine:

• living statues breaking out into dance
• highly technical dance defined by precision and style
• pompous and luxurious costuming
• timeless elegance

Decadent and fun

The Roaring Twenties and Great Gatsby are a classic theme that never goes out of style. The Charleston lends itself incredibly well for fast and furious flashmobs. Think of performances with:

• lots of charm, fun and pizzazz
• high energy, fast-paced routines
• bubbly and cheeky personalities
• daring acrobatics and slapstick tricks

Elegant and timeless

Recreate the splendour of royal palaces and magical fairy-tales with classical ballet, lyrical contemporary dance and ethereal specialist acts.

• mesmerising beauty and aesthetics
• precise point work and dramatic high leg extensions
• gravity-defying leaps and whirlwind pirouettes
• graceful, expressive and spectacular performers

Theme concepts are truly endless. They can be inspired by an era, by cultures or by an iconic event, film or music genre, or any other creative inspiration. Further concepts could be The Lion King, Bollywood, Around the World in 80 Days, the Oscars, Hollywood, a White Party, Ancient Cultures, Mystical Places, Fire & Ice, and events to match your cuisine or lobby decorations.
