The Blue Ocean theory. Cirque du Soleil, a Montreal based entertainment company founded in 1984. Before Cirque du Soleil, the circus industry was a highly competitive "red ocean" with many traditional circus companies battling over a shrinking market share. Cirque du Soleil's founders, however, chose to create a "blue ocean" by reimagining the circus experience. Instead of competing with traditional circuses on the same terms, they combined elements of theater, dance, and music to create a unique, high-quality performance experience that attracted a different audience—one willing to pay a premium for something novel and extraordinary.This strategic shift allowed Cirque du Soleil to create a new market space, where competition was irrelevant because they were offering something fundamentally different. This innovative approach led to significant success and established Cirque du Soleil as a global entertainment phenomenon. #learning, #cirquedusoleil #managementtheory #learning

Making Great Theatre Accessible For All This has been my companies tag line ever since I started the business, but recently, it has become so much more. When I started Shooting Stars in 2007, I was thinking that, as long as our shows were cheap enough, that would be enough... But then I realised there is so much more to it than cheap... and unfortunately, I couldn't build a great company if it was going to be the cheapest. I had to start trusting that people would book us on more than just cheap... and they do. But I was still aware of that tagline and the importance of living up to that sentence. We introduced BSL into our Early Years shows just under a decade ago, and we offered shorter, more compact performances at SEND schools requests. But it was when Gemma became our SEND Lead that things truly began to improve. Now we: * Include an SEND form with every booking, giving everyone a chance to tell us their needs * Offer relaxed and/or sensory introductions to our performances * Have begun to incorporate Makaton * Can provide social stories upon request * Train all of our performers on the adaptations they can make, such as no loud noises or static lights, to ensure everyone enjoys the show And on the financial side? We may no longer be the cheapest... but our Starlight Pass definitely means we offer the most value for money. We aren't where we want to be yet, but we are a darn sight closer than we were. #SEND #Accessibility #TheatreInEducation #TouringPanto SHOOTING STAR ENTERTAINMENTS

Did you know that charging lower prices can actually make clients take your circus act less seriously? Yep, you heard that right. Read it again, performer! I get it. It’s terrifying to think about raising your rates for gigs, especially in the circus world. But here's the truth: charging what you're worth not only helps you thrive but also attracts the right kind of clients who value your craft. But trust me, it’s TOTALLY doable! And I’m gonna show you how 👇 Here are my top three tips that will help you charge what you’re worth, land better gigs, and OWN your value in the circus industry. But first... let’s get real for a second 😏 Lower prices = lower perceived value. Some clients might start wondering, “Why is this aerialist, juggler, or clown charging so little? Is something wrong?” And we DO NOT want that! By setting strong, confident rates, you’re telling clients, I’m a professional performer, and I bring real entertainment value. So how can you master this? 1️⃣ Know the going rate: Do your research on what circus performers in your niche are charging. This sets the baseline for your pricing. 2️⃣ Highlight your magic: You’re not just any performer – showcase the unique awesomeness you bring that makes YOU worth the investment. 3️⃣ Set clear boundaries: Define what’s included in your fee so clients know what they’re getting. This prevents endless “favours” and ensures respect for your time and talent. By using these strategies, you’ll step into your worth, land dream gigs, and make waves in the global circus community. Swipe through to learn more about how to apply these tips to your performance career 🎪✨. And here’s a final love note just for you: Raising your prices isn’t about being greedy—it’s about recognizing your talent, hard work, and the magic you bring to the ring. You’ve earned it! #circus #circuseverydamnday #circuslife #circusinspiration #circusarts #circusaroundtheworld #circuscircus #circusinternational #circusartist #circusartistcirque #circuseveryday #circusgirl #circustraining #circusperformer #circuslove #aerialcircus #sellingcircus #businesscoach #businesscoachforcreatives

The latest cruise ship trend, Drag Queen residency, has been reported in Cruise Critic. This trend gained additional momentum when Scarlet Lady, the first ship in Virgin Voyages fleet, announced that Drag Queens will take up residence at the ship's Razzle Dazzle restaurant during a fun brunch experience.   TBI worked with a talented group of Drag Queens during our New Years Eve production shown in the UK on ITV. The Barbie themed act received huge acclaim. Featuring Kitty Scott-Claus, Baga Chipz, Cheryl Hole, Tayce.    TBI’s advice is that Creative Director and Show Producers should start to follow some guidelines to get the best from this genre of performance. It starts with drag, but the show can be much more than that:   1) First impressions, allow ample hair and make-up and hair prep. 2) Wardrobe, costume changes add glamour and interest. 3) Story, create a story arc for the performance. 4) Individualism, each artist is unique, build show stopping moments where each performer has the chance to shine. 5) Comedy, including sarcasm, is a must. 6)Variety counts, spoken word, music, and dance. Enjoy the show. #travel #cruise #luxurytravel #holiday #exhibitions #exhibitiondesign #eventsindustry #exhibitionindustry #ukbusiness #ukeconomy #exhibition #events #design #architecture #interiordesign
