The Next Prius UK Launch

The debut for the all new Toyota Prius was a great success for the UK. The Ignition and Element Domes teams worked closely together to form this truly unique experience. Element Domes provided a series of interconnected domes consisting of one 60ft, a 20ft, and three 36ft domes to create the Prius Domeplex.

This remarkable space was designed to showcase the new vehicle and play host to attendees. The central 60ft dome was used to welcome visitors, display the new car and also act as the focal area for refreshments. The 3 further 36ft domes acted as dedicated spaces to inform, explain and communicate Prius’ USPs.

36′ Reindeer Dome – Cardiff, UK

Christmas came early this year for the town of Cardiff. The newest, and one of the largest shopping centre’s in the UK, St. Davids 2 opened its doors to over 10,000 people on opening day. The development will bring new stores, cafes, bars, restaurants, and luxury residential apartments to the heart of Cardiff.

Element domes provided a 36ft dome to house 10 reindeers, the events team created a snow scape pen in which the public could come and experience the animals close up. The dome was placed right in the heart of Cardiff and stopped people in their tracks as they entered into the new complex.

Overall the clients were extremely happy and stated that the effect was perfect for the venue, location and purpose of the event.

Sky1 TV – Got To Dance Domes

 

The UK’s most popular entertainment channel Sky1 is home to the exciting new dance competition program Got To Dance, presided by Davina McCall. Pacific Domes paired with Element Domes provided the “Sky Domes”. This featured one of our largest most breathtaking domes, a 90ft, and two connecting 36ft domes for the TV Studio space.

The two smaller domes were used as rehearsal and holding areas for the dancers to relax before entering onto the main stage. The larger dome was used as the main studio, where live audiences were able to watch the auditions take place.

The first round of Got To Dance, known as “Dancing in the Street” auditions took place in Edinburgh’s Ocean Terminal, followed by Manchester’s City Football Club, and London’s O2 arena. The whole filming process took place over the month of October.

We were very pleased to provide our unique structures for Sky’s mobile TV Studio. Got to Dance is scheduled for broadcast in January 2010. Be sure to follow these talented dancers as they perform in this one of a kind, truly exceptional dome studio.

Pacific Domes and Earthdance “Blessing the Children”

SEPTEMBER 25-27, 2009

Earthdance, the Global Dance Festival for Peace, is the world’s largest simultaneous music and dance event that takes place each year in 60+ countries. Its goal is to inspire people all over the globe to support humanitarian causes. It aims to unite people through the universal language of music and dance while joining in a day of peaceful celebration and harmony. The objective is to create as many Earthdance events around the world as possible.

Pacific Domes has been working with Earthdance in Laytonville, California since 2001. Every year we sponsor the festival by providing event domes which are used for multiple purposes throughout the weekend. This year we featured The Temple of Electronica which was a 60 ft. dome that lit up the night. It was mostly empty during daylight hours but when the sun made its descent, the music and lightshows took over. The atmosphere inside was like a nightclub with bands playing and people dancing until sunrise. The dome was full of festival energy!

Earthdance is expanding its circle to include anyone interested in world peace. At each event around the world, promoters donate at least 50% of their profits to a local charity. There are no conditions on how big or small an Earthdance celebration needs to be. We encourage you to participate on whatever level is comfortable for you, whether it’s a public or private event.
