We could not have been happier. - Parents of Dylan (8 yrs. old) and Tatum (5 yrs. old) Reis’ past summer at camp KEF was more than I could wish for. Every week he looked forward to a new theme, which he considered a new adventure. He adored his bunk mates and counselors from the start, they all bonded right away. He loved every minute of his action packed schedule. He really developed, not only physically through sports, art and swimming, but also through fun activities that taught him valuable lessons of safety, philanthropy and to think about others and the world we live in.

  • Dust Palace Roving and Installation Price List 2017
    ROVING AND INSTALLATION CIRQUE ENTERTAINMENT HAND BALANCE AND CONTORTION One of our most common performance installations is Hand Balance Contortion. Beautiful and graceful this incredible art is mastered by very few, highly skilled performers. Roving or installation spots are only possible for 30 mins at a time and are priced at $950+gst per performer. ADAGIO AND ACROBATICS Adagio, hand to hand, balance acrobatics and trio acro are all ways to describe the art of balancing people on people. Usually performed as a couple this is the same as hand balance contortion in that it’s only possible for 30 minute stints. Roving or installation can be performed in any style and we’re always happy to incorporate your events theme or branding into the theatrics around the skill. Performers are valued at $950+gst per 30 minute slot. MANIPULATION SKILLS Manipulation skills include; Hula Hoops, Juggling, Cigar boxes, Diabolo, Chin Balancing, Poi Twirling, Plate Spinning and Crystal Ball. As a roving or installation act these are fun and lively, bringing some nice speedy movement to the room. All are priced by the ‘performance hour’ which includes 15 minutes break and range between $400+gst and $700+gst depending on the performer and the skill. Some performers are capable of character work and audience interaction. Working these skills in synchronisation with multiple performers is a super cool look. Most of these skills can be performed with LED props. EQUILIBRISTICS aka balance skills The art of balancing on things takes many long hours of dedication to achieve even the most basic result.
