The hot Summer month saw a diverse range of themes for our eventertainment company… Check out some of our event highlights below.

On August 5th we sent 2 lovely Stilt Walkers to Noche en China Moon, a Fundraiser in Sonoma, CA for the organization La Luz. (we do their fundraisers every year and always a new theme… the organizer in the photo is Marcelo… who we love)

And we also sent a Champagne Skirt Hostess and Dancer to a poolside soiree in Santa Clara thanks to Entire Productions.

On August 12th we once again sent a giant Rosie the Riviter to Richmond, CA for a city planned Rosie Ralley.

On August 17th, 2 of our lovely masquerade Champagne Skirt hostesses were sent out to an elegant party at SF City Hall- booked by Innovative Entertainment.

We had the chance to be part of a Make-A-Wish Event for Izzy at the Twitter HQ. It was an elemental themed Fashion show featuring Izzy in her own designs… and our elemental performers took the stage to keep guests amused between her walks while she changed. We had an Opera Singer for Earth, a Ballerina for Water, and a Samba dancer for Fire!

On August 26th we sent 3 UV Black Light Face Painters to an exciting Bar Mitzvah in San Francisco… and made the kids positively glow!

& while were on the topic of UV BlackLight… check out our new VIDEO featuring some of the UV Dance Acts available with Catalyst Arts Eventertainment!

Introducing the Wild-LIFE of the party…Party Animals!

Posted in: EVENTS/ENTERTAINMENT, GENERAL, HUMAN DÉCOR, PERFORMANCE/ENTERTAINMENT

Our Party Animals made their debut for the Rainforest Action Network at the Starline Social Club where they made the crowd go WILD. These animals tower above your guests (on four-legged stilts), they can be “tamed” and elegant, or ridiculously and playfully interactive. You’d be surprised at what a zebra could get away with at a party!

These signature characters were also the (wild)life of the party at the San Francisco and Oakland Zoo! We can incorporate your custom theme or request through our realistic or fantastical body paint animals! Below a corporate party at SF City Hall we body painted these characters for great photo opps for the guests and the dancers for their Broadway inspired show.

-This Summer our Tiger and Zebra strolled around bringing wonder to Jack’s Night Market in Oakland for all 3 of it’s dates. Blogger Sally mentioned on her blog Little Hiccups,”Kids will love the carnival entertainers that stroll around the markets. The stilt walking zebra and tiger were a huge hit with all the kids…”

GOOD CAUSE- The Party Animals are part of our giving back initiatives…so every party animal booking results in a donation to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and the Mercy For Animals.

Practical Considerations: Stilt Party Animals require a designated ground supporter, which can provided by Catalyst Arts for a small fee or assigned from your staff or volunteers. For large crowded events or events with copious amounts of alcohol, we include a “zookeeper” to protect the animals and also serve as a photographer.

Pricing: Bookings for ground animals start at $350; stilt animals start at $500. Please see our price sheet for more information.
