Parties have become incredibly one toned in the last couple of years. We drink weak alcohol, bob along to the music playing on the speakers, and wonder how long we have to stay before we can get back home. This mood isn’t how parties are supposed to be! We’re supposed to have fun, learn something, and get into motion.
Live entertainment with a culture more profound than just what your guests have to offer is a fantastic way to break the mold.
Here are the three top multicultural live entertainment ideas out there. These pros will help boost your party above the rest and keep everyone ready for your next party.
Live Cultural Dancers
Dance is the most vivid way to experience the culture. From the fun dancing of Bollywood to the lively heart of Cuban entertainment, you’ll find dance lingering in every corner. Dance does so well at a party because it invites your guests into motion. Although it can be hard to start, having professional dancing is a great icebreaker.
Your guests can learn and be inspired by the moves and leave the party knowing something they didn’t before. This party entertainment can help boost how people talk about you and your party and will boost your reputation with everyone invited.
Musicians and Singers
The most direct line into a culture is their voices. More than dancing or art, singers can convey emotion and soul and without hesitation. Look for cultural singers who can offer their voices and languages to your party. Although most of your guests may not understand what the artist is singing, the feeling and emotion should come through.
Musicians who play instruments are also fantastic! Most cultures have unique tools, from lutes to the Australian indigenous didgeridoo. These instruments are like an extension of their culture and will inspire your guests to learn and want more.
Acting Shows
It’s no secret that acting and entertainment vary vastly between countries and even cities. Look for a drama or performance troupe that suits what you’re looking for. Japanese kabuki theater, a dramatic show of over the top acting and amazing costumes and makeup, can lead audiences through any emotions you want. These performers are unique, highly skilled, and have enough of cultural depth that it’ll wow and impress your guests.
Other options for this could be puppetry, silhouette performances, or different acting types that are usually done on stage. All of these can have a depth that you wouldn’t get from just having a magician walk around at your party.
There are many rules for hiring multicultural live entertainment that everyone should follow to get the best experience possible. The first is to be respectful of your performer’s culture! Please don’t bring them in and annoy or harass them; they’re sharing a piece of themselves with your party. The second is to be sure to hire people who are a part of, or are incredibly knowledgeable of, the culture! Your guests will want to ask questions, and it’s better to have someone who can answer them and share useful information with the party.
