Two Acts.
Act I — Obscurum(Before Midnight) Dim light, candle glow, immersive soundscapes, and reflective spaces. Silks and shadowed performances.
Act II — Aurum(After Midnight) Golden light, color, and euphoria. High‑energy dance, playful performances, and joyful connection until dawn.
Dress & Vibe.
Theme Guidance (not rules):
- Before midnight: black, charcoal, shadowy textures, veils, mystery.
- After midnight: add gold and color—shimmers, iridescents, playful accents.
- Wear what moves: dance‑friendly, expressive, and warm layers for outdoor moments.
Your NYE Survival Kit.
☑ A Cup You Love (Dress it up!) – Bring a reusable vessel that’s as fabulous as you are. Think: gold accents, sparkles, mysterious shapes, your personal chalice for potions and hydration.(We provide the champagne flutes + midnight toast.)
☑ Shareable Snacks / Drinks – It’s potluck energy. Feed your friends, fuel your journey.
☑ Warm Layers – You WILL end up outside. Future-you will be grateful.
☑ Act I Outfit: Black, Shadowy, Mysterious – Think pre-midnight: moody, mystical, dramatic.
☑ Act II Outfit: Gold, Color, Shimmer, Radiance – Post-midnight: transformation, celebration, shine.(One outfit that morphs is also 🔥.)
☑ Outdoor-Friendly Footwear – You’ll want sturdy shoes for the lawn and the cold…but remember: indoors is a no-shoes zone, cozy socks encouraged.
☑ Something to Release – A word, thought, or note for the Intention Burning Box.
☑ Something to Celebrate – Bring joy, curiosity, connection, the things that make you glow.
