To bring the "Bollywood" theme alive, the event team recruited a professional cast of 30 entertainers coming from cultural groups around the U.S.
Imprint developed an event with the effervescent Bollywood style, mixing traditional Indian dance and music with a contemporary Western influence. Throughout the event, the team worked to ensure cultural sensitivity.
The production included five vignettes that told a Bollywood love story throughout the night. The first, taking place in the foyer, was transformed into an Indian festival at the local bazaar.
The foyer was inhabited by several female cast members on box displays, who came to life once attendees had congregated. The foyer also featured several different ambiance performers such as acro-yoga contortionists, snake charmers and foot jugglers.
