Make A Wish Wisconsin

Performing with Wish Kid Kennedy

It was an absolute honor performing at the Make A Wish Wisconsin Fundraiser! We brought painters, performers, and programmed pixels together to create some magical moments on stage.

Our performer team got painted into characters inspired by The Lion King, thanks to the talented Amanda of Paint and Inflate! It was awesome to collaborate, and definitely helped bring the whole vision together. As performers, we all felt pampered not having to do our own makeup. The transformation made it that much easier to get into character!

Working with Lighthouse Productions was a huge highlight - they really brought the safari to life with a high energy track and background visuals for our performance. They completely understood the assignment as soon as we talked about our pixel poi, and were a pleasure to work with start to finish.

Shoutout to Lighttoys for crafting the most reliable (and gorgeously bright) props on the market - we were able to tweak our programming onsite to incorporate some last minute ideas! Having that flexibility makes all the difference when we’re part of a bigger creative vision.

The most unforgettable part of it all though? Sharing the stage with Wish Kid Kennedy! Golly gee, what an incredible singer! I think all of us had goosebumps performing with him. It was an absolute privilege and honor.

Events like this are great reminders of why we love what we do. A lot goes on backstage to make it all happen, but the magical moments far outweigh the chaos.

Big thank-yous to Make A Wish Wisconsin for having us out, and Abbey Spierings of Hagen + Co for these lovely photos! We’re grateful to have been a small part of making wishes come true.
