Local nonprofit dance company Prince Dance Theatre is hosting “Return to the Carnival of Exotic Mayhem,” a fundraising dance party from 7-11 p.m. Saturday on the stage at Kahilu Theatre in Waimea.
Even bigger than last year, the fundraiser will feature crazy costumes, video projections, magic, fire dancers, go-go dancers, aerialists, dance and cabaret performances from members of the company and more, while DJ Danny Waddell serves up the best in body-rocking dance music all night long in a wild and carnival-like setting.
Savory treats from the Blue Dragon’s Dragon Wagon and chocolate confections from Cocoa Le‘a will be available for purchase and beverages for sale at the Kahilu Theatre bar.
Prince Dance Theatre is raising funds to create its newest work, “Black Matter,” a collaborative effort between artistic director Angel Prince and astronomer Jean-Charles Cuillandre of the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. “Black Matter” aims to be an informative and entertaining dance theater piece on the topic of space and dark matter. It also will have an outreach component in which the company and astronomer will go into local schools to present the work in an imaginative and educational manner for students.
“Return to the Carnival of Exotic Mayhem” is an all-ages event; dressing up in carnival attire is encouraged.
Tickets are $25 for adults, $10 for ages 11 and younger and $100 for the VIP package, which includes two beverage tickets, one food ticket, five prize giveaway tickets and dancer-escorted entrance to VIP areas. Tickets are available at www.princedance.org or by calling Noelani at 854-6646.
