GRAMMY Celebration- Elements

Public Chicago

Just right for summer entertaining, Zen Arts offers an array of entertainment options that can work over or around a pool space. “Bubble spheres” are transparent spheres that hold performers and float on water. The company started with just one, and recently expanded to six, which are now available for dramatic outdoor entertaining. Zen Arts can also bring in costumed mermaids to provide poolside drama.

A dancer appeared to be attached to butterfly wings that moved on the screen behind her. Corporate Magic's Stephen Dahlem said they created the effect by first recording a dancer in front of a green screen in order to determine placement of the wings.

During the music segment of the show, an electric string quartet played in front of colorful videos while two acrobats performed from ropes suspended from the ceiling.

Fog filled the bottom of the stage as three acrobats performed inside an open steel sphere during the science segment.

For the closing number, dancers performed with small inflated balls, and then organizers engaged the attendees by passing much larger balls through the audience.
