The two acts (Dancing Christmas Tree and Giant Candy Cane) were absolutely wonderful at our BIG arrival.  We got great feedback and they looked awesome.  I know this is short notice, but are they available this Sunday, November 18th from 1pm-4pm?

Thanks!

High Bill,
Thank you so much for helping make the Bellco St. Patrick's Day a HUGE success! Everyone on the marketing team heard nothing but great comments about the 18ft puppets and how they really interacted with the crowd. Laura Higgins was so happy that we had 4 puppets/walkers not 2, she really thought that it made a big impact. The pictures you sent over are wonderful and I am using them in the parade recap package to Bellco.  I believe that Bellco will be calling you again this summer to work at couple some festivals and events...we are determined to use the bubble tower!
Thank you again!

Hi Bill,

I just emailed you! The client was very pleased, thanks! I loved the trees and did get a few photos, but they weren’t great. I can send what I have if you like. I really liked working with Jerry.  He’s a good guy. And I liked the wranglers you hired as well.
I look forward to working with you again soon, and thanks for sending me some good performers!!!

Best, Skye

Festival  and special event pricing: An event planner asks:

What about pricing? What are your fees?

Stretch answers:

It is best to call 303-922-4655 or email    stretch@stiltwalker.com with your dates, location and requirements. I can provide you some pricing guidelines after discussing your special needs.  I also have a DVD for your review.  Just ask!  stretch@stiltwalker.com

You can choose from several options: One or more entertainers, comedy action stilt performing, Giant Parade Puppets, several Group Activity options and attractions.  

giantpuppets.htm

photos.htm     Five pages of photos of Stilt costumes and Giant Puppets

Group activity options include up to three dozen sets of old fashioned hand held wood stilts and additional bucket stilts for adults and kids. stiltparty.htm  The coloring book wall mural,  the giant ORB  and the solar powered Bubble Tower.  http://www.bubbletower.com/  

Our goal is to make this easy and enjoyable for you!

stretch@stiltwalker.com

 Technical requirements:

Height Clearance and space requirements

About all we need is sufficient head room for the stilt performer and the giant puppets and a parking space for our truck. 

Allow at least 9 foot of clearance for most of the stilt costumes.  The dancing Christmas Tree is a little taller, but both the Tree and most stilt costume characters can bend to walk through a normal doorway.

The giant Parade Puppets are in the 16 to 18 foot tall range, and can easily duck under traffic signs and power lines.  They will not fit through a 12 foot tall tunnel.  The puppets easily fold up to be carried through a doorway like you would carry a tall  ladder.

The T-Shirt Jello Cannon is great for launching sponsor’s Tshirts, golf towels, fleece, confetti or even Jello!!!

jellogun.jpg

With adjustable power, the cannon propels the t-shirts so they open in flight to float down to the crowd.  With care, the TSJC is suitable for stadium or open field.  Not for low ceilings!

Will launch t-shirts 40 to 100 or more feet depending on weight and size of t-shirts, wind and your needs.

Confetti or other lightweight items won’t fly as far as t-shirts.

Can also be used to launch water soaked chunks of foam or foam toys for cooling summer time fun!  Watch the video or ask for a demo.

This is a great opportunity for your sponsors to become involved in your event to deliver their message in a highly charged, emotional and memorable fashion!

GoldenChamberofCommerce.jpg

 

Stilt Walking Party or Workshops with old fashioned hand held wood stilts.  Size of venue can vary depending on the number of participants and space available.  Best away from traffic, store windows, and autos.  A tennis court, a blocked off street intersection,  a small or large gym, even a wide sidewalk can all be used successfully.  May require supervision, see Q and A below.

Black top, concrete, and grass all work well. Smooth is better than bumpy. Until people learn to lift their knees, they fall a little more often on bumpy unimproved fields than they do on grass.

New for 2004!  Bucket stilts for the small fry!  Great for the 4 to 7 
year old set.  Great Fun!

The Giant ORB is a wonderful toy for group activity if the venue is appropriate and it is not too windy.  A wide open field with a volley ball net is best. The ORB is a six foot tall cloth covered balloon that is very light weight and loads of FUN!

Sky Painting and Sky Dancing

Ideally this performance requires a circle of about 60 feet depending on wind direction and speed.  Area should be as clear as possible of lamp and sign posts and over head obstructions.  Usually performed out doors, I have done this performance in one of the ballrooms at the Denver Convention Center for the Beaux Arts Ball – a much smaller area, loaded with tables and overhead hanging decorations!  Great atmosphere when performed to music, with or with out stilt dancing.  Overhead clearance of at least 25 feet is best.

Also a great “keep a way” activity with the kids.

stretch@stiltwalker.com

See the New Solar Powered Bubble Tower!

The Bubble Tower Sculpture is about 14 feet tall, and takes up about 18 feet of ground for the actual instillation.   But of course more room is required, particularly downwind from the tower.  Either pavement or grass is fine for the Bubble Tower.   The area should be level, and not upwind of cars, vender booths, street traffic, or other hazard.  You do not want the kids chasing bubbles blowing into traffic, or off a cliff, or into vender’s booths, or into the classic car show!   Strong wind requires a larger area, 40 to 100 feet or more and you may need to provide barriers or supervision so the kids don’t chase the bubbles into the street or other hazard.  Light or no wind means the Bubble Tower can be shoe horned in between buildings!

See all of the videos at the bottom of this page.  Some are of the Bubble Tower in windy conditions, others not so windy. video.htm

Not tested yet in cold weather, but should be good down to 25F or 30F degrees depending on wind.  We do adjust the Bubble Juice formula to accommodate wind and low humidity conditions.  Conditions that are normally not ideal for making bubbles. 

The Coloring Book Wall Mural consists of panels six foot high, and six foot wide.  Using washable water based Elmer’s Squeeze and Brush, kids and adults can fill in (paint) the blanks.  You will need to furnish an attendant to dispense and collect the paints and keep order.  You may want to furnish a table, chair or shade tent. 

Artwork is Stilt Walking, Giant Puppet, and Circus Arts related, in a Ripley’s Believe it or Not style.  stretch@stiltwalker.com

 

Parking Location Requirements

Truck height clearance is a little over 11 feet.  Length is about 22 feet, so it overhangs a normal parking space, but not by much.  Additional space for assembly of puppets is best.  Preferably next to a lawn if available.

The parking space should be as close as possible to the
performance area.  It doesn't make sense to get all worn out
hiking to the parade or festival!  It is best to save that energy for the performance.

truck-stiltsGloryDays03.jpg  We use the truck as an air conditioned "Green Room" and prop
storage area, so easy access conserves time and energy for
the performance.  Performing with stilts, or the puppets
really heats up a performer, so periodic cool down time is
necessary to avoid problems and to maximize our performance energy.

For a festival, a central location is better than being on
the extreme fringe.  A central location gives us more
performing options.  For example, when stilt performing I
often change out comedy props every hour or so.  From "Free Ear Cleaning" with a 4 foot Q-tip, to "Free Hair Cuts" with a foam rubber weed wacker!  So easy access is a plus, and of course makes those important rest breaks more effective.  It also make it a lot easier to perform to a larger geographical area if we start from a more central location.

Performing surface requirements:

Most concrete or blacktop surfaces, carpet, dry tile or marble floors are acceptable, as is sod.   Other surfaces may be acceptable depending on the desired activity.  Please ask. 

Performing temperature requirements:

 Heat is our enemy, cold is our friend.  Performing with Giant Puppets, or as a stilt performer is hot, hard work! Keeping warm in winter is very easy to do.  Keeping cool in summer is harder! We take breaks as needed to preserve our health and safety.  Our truck is insulated and air conditioned so we can cool off, change costumes,  eat and get rehydrated in private.  We want to be our best for your event!
 

Sign and banner dimensions

With enough lead time, we can even accessorize a Giant Puppet or
stilt costume to give recognition to your sponsors.

stilt-walker1.jpg

Stilt costume leg banner is 10 x 60 inches overall.

Signs can also be pinned to the back of the stilt performer, or a custom vest can be made with your logo or message silk screened on the back.  A custom hat, umbrella, jersey, or prop is another way to draw attention to your promotion or theme.  Please call to discuss your needs.

Signs for the Giant Puppets can be placed on the back of the operator, as well as front and back of the puppet.

Holiday or other theme costume requests are welcomed!  Please call to discuss your needs.

Bubble Tower legs are about 18 inches wide and 14 feet long.  Can be seen from a block or more away!  Please call to discuss your needs.

We have decorated our yellow truck with blue, green and
orange “polka dots” in keeping with your festive atmosphere.
And of course the sides of the truck are a great place to hang your sponsor’s banner up to 14 feet long and 10 feet high.

Need a Theme Costume or Giant Puppet?  Just ask! Many to choose from, or we can either accessorize an existing costume or prop, or create and entirely new stilt costume, prop, or giant puppet to suit your needs.  We can even customize the solar powered Bubble Tower Sculpture to fit your theme!

stretch@stiltwalker.com

Q and A – stilt party
An event planner asks:
"I have a few questions for you. About the stilt party with the hand held wood stilts and bucket stilts:  the stilts will be available for 'self serve' enjoyment. Do you need people to help facilitate that or do you take care of that?"

Stretch answers:

Depends on the venue. Some venues beg for constant supervision:
keep the stilts away from parked cars, windows, that sort of thing. An open field or tennis court can both work well without supervision.

But not in a high traffic cross walk with out supervision.  A location close enough so folks will see what is going on and be attracted and come join the fun. But you don't want the kids stilt walking through the craft booths or by the cars, or on a rocky hill side, or walking up behind unwary people, and then falling off their stilts!

If the area has some boundaries, that is good, particularly at very large festivals. The stilts have a habit of  "walking themselves" great distances otherwise!

But the middle of an empty field works well also.

At Lowrey Days, they used Americore volunteers who worked out quite well.  Americore requires so many hours of volunteer service from their participants. You might ask them for help.

When performing, I try and stop over every 40 minutes or so for a few minutes of instruction. If you are unsure, or know that you have a congested venue, then I suggest that you provide some folks. I/we can bring them up to speed in 5 minutes.

If you provide a few hay bales or similar, the kids will stand on them when mounting the stilts until they get the hang of mounting the stilts from the ground. Not necessary, but nice.

stretch@stiltwalker.com

Q and A – fund raising

An event planner asks:

Do you have any fund raising ideas?

Stretch answers:

Ask about the Stilt Tournament we held at the Boulder City Nevada Spring Jamboree!   http://www.springjamboree.com/    A fun event and a great fundraiser!

Alternatively, you could charge for a stilt walking workshop.

Another fund raising idea is to sell disposable cameras.

Cameras
It has been my experience that people will want to take photos of their kids on the stilts, with Uncle Sam, and with the Giant Puppet.

And they defiantly will want photos of their kids chasing the bubbles from the solar powered Bubble Tower!  http://www.bubbletower.com/  

And a large number of folks will have forgotten their camera. I have yet to see a camera vender at a festival and I can't figure out why.  Seems like a sure $ maker to me. 

Go to Sam's Club or Costco, buy a bunch and return the ones you 
don't sell.  Sell them at a mark up along with your t -shirts and other festival souvenirs. Let me know if I am nuts.

 
You can also raise funds by hiring us out to a neighboring festival, fair, or event the day before or following your festival.

Try car dealerships and any grand openings, country club
celebrations, trade shows, or even church events.

We can attract a LOT of attention to a car dealership, and
churches love to have us to perform at various events
including festivals, a patriotic pageant/revue and even
stilt walking workshops for family night or day camp.


A nine foot tall “valet parking attendant" makes a terrific
greeter for any kind of event, even black tie.  We have two Bubble Towers and Four Giant Puppets and over 100 sets of the hand held wood stilts, so we can accommodate multiple events on the same day.  This means you can hire us out to more than one event on the same day and split the costs and save money! 

Thank you for your consideration!  Jerry and I are looking
forward to helping you make your event the best ever!

Walking tall and stretching imaginations!

     From the January/February 2004 City Style newsletter of the Downtown Tulsa Unlimited on the 2003 AEP-PSO Christmas Parade of Lights. 
    And we had fun as well!  In fact, I had so much fun as the Giant Candy Cane, that I did the parade route twice!
    We had the puppets strung with lights, and since getting back to Denver, I have purchased over $300 in additional lighting for the 18 foot tall Friendly Giant Parade Puppets and 10 foot tall dancing Christmas Tree!
