“THE MONSTERS BALL”

HALLOWEEN showcase

submissions 2026

Welcome to Monster’s Ball, a dark, theatrical pole and aerial showcase where the strange, seductive, creepy, and beautifully twisted come out to play.

Imagine you’ve received an invitation to an extravagant ball—but this isn’t an ordinary party. Every guest is a monster, creature, villain, or supernatural being with a story to tell.

For your performance, we want you to create a character and a storyline, not just choose a Halloween costume. Your “monster” can be glamorous, frightening, sensual, funny, disturbing, mysterious, or completely unexpected.

Think vampires, witches, sirens, ghosts, demons, dolls, zombies, creatures, iconic villains, mythical beings—or invent a monster entirely your own.
