How to Organize an Outdoor Bubble Show?

There are indoor and outdoor bubble shows. A good artist should be able to work both.
First you need to find out what the format of the event will be. There may be three options: a simple performance, a public event performance or a birthday party, a wedding, a children's holiday and so on.

Simple Performance

The simplest performance is when you are supposed to merely blow bubbles without a lot of acting. Just take a tri string, triangles, nets (Props, The Net Outdoor Prop), froth wands, beads (Props, The Beads Outdoor Prop), a desk with a tray, a daisy wand (Props, Chamomile Wand). Do not bother trying doing something fancy, just blow your bubbles, a lot of bubbles. There is no act as such. You can even do it without a desk. Offer kids to make a few bubbles, make a few yourself and everyone's happy.

Public Event

At public events, such as the day of the city, you have to do the act. It's impossible to do a good outdoor bubble show longer than 5 minutes. Because, as a rule, the outdoor stages are quite high. They are not obstructed and are viewed from all sides, the wind blows free.

In this case we will make hand-made bubbles. There is a 100% guarantee that you'll be able to blow bubbles from your hands and throw them away. A 20cm wand (Props, 20-cm Wand) should go with a bang too. Active use your bubble-maker (Props, Small Bubble-Maker Wand), to produce a lot of bubbles.

Make sure to use a big froth wand, a daisy wand, and all outdoor sticks and ropes. A 30 cm wand is questionable, because if the wind is strong, the bubbles will burst. A 45 cm hoop is useless too. Do not take risk attempting a Human inside Bubble act at such events. You never know whether you succeed or not. Bad reputation is of no use to anybody.

Daisy Wand

A bubble generator might be very useful. Because if there is a strong wind, the device will be your only hope.

From my experience I can say that every year, on May 9 I do my show in the town square, and is always very windy on this day. I use only a bubble-maker and a generator. They both produce a lot of bubbles, and people like it.

Do not forget using a good outdoor bubble juice that makes strong bubbles. Otherwise, even a 20 cm wand can fail you.

The Bubble Show at a Party or Reception

Most often it is a children's party or a wedding reception. If you do the full show, find a place to hide your equipment from wind at least on one side. It may be a fenced corner or a gazebo or something similar. In such circumstances you'll be able to make small and medium-sized bubbles without any issues.

There is a nuance regarding the Human inside Bubble (Props, Human Inside Bubble Set) act. Normally I say right away that I am not sure if I will be able to put people inside a bubble. It will depend on the wind strength. If there is no wind, you can put them all inside a bubble. But if there IS a wind, it will be necessary to resort to tricks. For example, the guests may be asked to stand in a tight circle around you and the newlyweds to be placed inside the bubble.

The same applies to children. You can engage your imaginations, make them pick up, say, a few rugs, use them as a fence and do your thing. When parents have an urge to help they offer really great ideas. Nothing is impossible during outdoor shows, unless there is a heavy rain and a strong wind. Therefore, work and enjoy it.

The outdoor shows turn out beautiful and spectacular. The bubbles shimmer brighter and have more saturated colors due to sunlight.
