Category 01Aerial Arts

Aerial Arts — An Elevated Experience

Every discipline in this category shares one thing: artists moving with strength and ease while suspended in the air. Beyond that, the range is extraordinary — and so is the adaptability.

Aerial can be ambient or spotlight, intimate or theatrical. A standout solo act that stops the room cold and leaves everyone breathless. A lyra performer suspended above your guests, embodying the atmosphere of the evening. Same category. Completely different energy — and we'll help you find the right fit.

Note: Aerial arts are not recommended for workshops due to rigging requirements and the time needed to safely train multiple participants.

Rigging & Space:

Hard point — A solid structural anchor (I-beam, large wooden beam, or existing rated point). Minimum 14 ft of ceiling clearance recommended; 16–20 ft preferred for most apparatus.

Mobile rig — Available for events without an existing hard point. Minimum footprint of 12 × 15 ft and 15 ft of height clearance required. Well-suited for outdoor events and large indoor spaces. Mobile rigs can be decorated to complement your event aesthetic. (Available for an additional cost.)

Disciplines

Category 02Acrobatics

Acrobatics — Versatile Performances for Any Space

Floor-based and endlessly adaptable. Acrobatics works for low ceilings, tight spaces, and everything in between — indoors, outdoors, large or small.

Acro duos can wander through a crowd for ambient sets, or command the stage with romantic adagio and death-defying drops. Contortion can amplify the background or demand undivided attention through mind-bending movements.

Beautiful, exciting, and at home in any event.

Space & Setup:

Hand balancing & contortion — Very small spaces, no ceiling height requirement.

Duo acro, adagio & hand-to-hand — Minimum 12 × 12 ft floor space, 13 ft ceiling recommended for overhead lifts.

Apparatus acts (Cyr wheel, German wheel, etc.) — Additional clearance required, ask us.

Note: A stage or elevated surface is strongly recommended for all acts to ensure guest visibility.

Category 03Fire & Flow

Fire & Flow — Hot, Hypnotic, and Completely Mesmerizing

Flow arts encompass all kinds of object manipulation — props, juggling, dance — performed with a rhythmic, meditative quality that pulls people in and holds their attention. Artists move to the music, adding a new dimension to the atmosphere and making any space feel alive.

These acts especially shine at night. Both LEDs and fire transform an evening.

Flow is incredible for ambient sets, festival environments, and anywhere music is central to the experience. It's also one of our favorite workshop formats — accessible, fun, and genuinely enjoyable for all ages and skill levels.

Fire vs. LED:

Fire — Theatrical and primal. Best for outdoor evening atmospheres. Every fire booking includes a dedicated fire safety: an assistant whose only job is protecting performers and audience.

Outdoor fire — Open ground with 20+ ft clearance from structures required. Doable in many outdoor settings, though woodland and forested areas may have additional restrictions depending on local regulations.

Indoor fire — Limited to venues with the appropriate permitting and fire safety compliance. Ask us — we know which venues are approved and can help you navigate the requirements.

LED substitution — Same props, same choreography, no permitting required. A great alternative anywhere open flame isn't certified or safe, and the spectacle stays fully intact.

Props

Most available in both fire and LED

Fans · Poi · Dragon Staff · Hula Hoop · Clubs · Rope Dart · Staff · Double Staff · Buugeng · LED Dragon

Category 04Burlesque & Drag

Burlesque & Drag — Silly, Sexy, and a Lot of SASS

Sultry to silly — and everything in between. Burlesque can be purely its own discipline, or a version of aerial or acrobatic art — taking something already incredibly impressive and adding an element of playful seduction.

Whether you're looking for an adult entertainer, a sensual vibe, a hilarious host, or just something outside your comfort zone — our performers adapt to the comfort of your audience, and we know how to get a room going.

Always a crowd pleaser. Especially for the ones who came to have a little too much fun.

Things to Know:

Audience — These performances are intended for adult audiences. Have a mixed-age crowd? Ask us about family-friendly cabaret variants.

Green room — Required for costume changes. A private space with a mirror and adequate lighting is ideal.

Tonal direction — Set during booking. Tell us the room and we'll match it — from classic and elegant to campy and over the top.

Category 05Variety

Variety — The Art of Working a Room

Stilt walkers at arrival. A magician between courses. A roaming character who somehow knows exactly what your guests need. Variety acts are the connective tissue of a great event — engaging, interactive, and always on the move.

These acts thrive in the spaces between. Cocktail hours, company events, fairs, festivals — anywhere guests are moving freely and you want the entertainment to move with them. Set times typically run up to an hour, making variety one of the most efficient ways to keep energy high across a longer event without anchoring your guests in one spot.

No stage. No program slot. Just presence, play, and a room full of people who didn't see it coming.

Things to Know:

Stilt walking — Requires a level surface, 9+ ft ceiling clearance, and a dedicated assistant for safety and support. Additional requirements apply — inquire at booking.

Magic & interactive acts — Most are fully roaming with no setup required. Some acts may need a small table or defined space.

MC & comedy — Requires a working sound system.

Acts

Stilt Walking · Walkabout Characters · Magic · Roving Performance · MC / Host · Comedy · Interactive Artists

Not sure how variety fits into your event? It almost always does — let's talk about it.

Music — The Right Soundtrack Changes Everything

We have a large network of musicians and DJs we know, trust, and have worked alongside directly. From live jazz for a cocktail hour to a DJ who knows exactly how to read a late-night festival crowd — we can connect you with the right person for the right moment.

While music isn't our primary focus, it's deeply woven into everything we do. Good performance and good music are inseparable, and we treat finding the right sound for your event with the same care we bring to the talent.

We can connect you with:

DJs · Live Musicians · Bands · Solo Artists · Ambient / Atmospheric Sound

Already have a music act? We're great at building performance around an existing lineup.

Category 07Visual Arts

Visual Arts — When the Space Itself Becomes the Art

The right visual environment transforms an event before a single performer takes the stage. We work with a network of visual artists, makers, lighting designers, photographers, and videographers whose work we know and believe in — people who understand how to make a space feel like something more.

Whether you're looking for an immersive backdrop, live painting, or collaboration on an art project or music video, we can help you find and coordinate with the right creative collaborators.

We can connect you with:

Visual Artists · Live Painters · Projection & Mapping · Photographers · Videographers · Production Designers

Have a visual concept in mind? Bring it — we love building around a vision.

Category 08Production

Production — We'll Meet You Where You Are

It's not just the talent onstage that makes an evening memorable. The lighting, the sound, the person calling cues from the wings — these are the things your guests feel without knowing why.

Levity can step in as full production lead or plug into an existing team — whatever your event needs. Stage management, artist coordination, run of show, technical direction — we'll figure out together what role makes sense.

We also work with a vetted network of local collaborators across lighting design and sound production. One conversation with us can open a lot of doors.

Support may include:

Stage Management · Run of Show · Artist Coordination · Technical Direction · Lighting Design · Sound Production

Not sure what level of support you need? Let's talk it through.

Let’s build something.

Rates depend on the event, the performance, the experience of the performer, and how long you need us. The guide has starting points. The real number comes from a conversation.
