A Show Act for Your Gala
Marina Skulditskaya - A gala evening lives on special moments. As a handstand and hula hoop artist with decades of stage experience, I offer artistry at variety theatre level: technical precision, clean lines and an elegant, aesthetic style of expression that matches the festive setting of your gala.
My journey has taken me from the Grand Prix of the International Festival of Veszprém, via engagements in Japan, the USA, the United Arab Emirates and South Africa, to German variety stages such as the Friedrichsbau Varieté in Stuttgart. In 2013, the trade magazine Künstlermagazin named me Artist of the Year in the handstand equilibristics category.

Artistry at variety theatre level
At a gala, your guests expect quality – my show acts come straight from professional variety stages and impress through precision, strength and elegance rather than mere effects.
Seamless in the running order
I work routinely with stage direction, hosts and event technicians: clear agreements, punctual changeovers, professional lighting and music briefings. Your gala stays right on schedule.
Also with live music
My shows have already been accompanied by live orchestras and big bands – including the New Year concert with the Capitol Symphony Orchestra. Do get in touch if your gala features live music.
Elegant for any festive setting
Whether charity gala, awards ceremony, anniversary gala or New Year's Eve gala: the costume, music and presence of the show blend into the festive character of the evening.
These Show Acts Are Available for Your Gala
Both shows can be booked individually or as a combination – as an elegant highlight between the courses of the gala dinner, to break up the speeches, or as a double feature.
Handstand Show Act "Vision"
The handstand show "Vision" is the classic gala moment: powerful equilibristics, dance-like choreography and ethereal music merge into a vision of weightlessness that brings the whole room to a hush.
Hula Hoop Show Act "Swingtime"
The hula hoop show "Swingtime" provides the upbeat counterpoint: virtuoso hoop artistry full of pace and charm – ideal for easing from the official part into the celebratory evening.

Fee & Travel Costs – Transparent and Fair

Looking to Fill a Whole Evening?
No problem: after many years on German stages I am very well connected and regularly work with hosts, magicians, BMX artists and many other performers.
From an elegant variety programme to an urban show mix – for example with spectacular BMX flatland artistry – I will gladly put together a complete evening programme from this network, tailored to your occasion, audience and budget. Just get in touch and tell me what you have in mind.

Frequently Asked Questions About Booking for Gala Evenings
How much does a show act for a gala cost?
The fee depends on the venue, the date and the scope of the booking. The closer your gala is to Stuttgart, the lower the travel costs. Send a non-binding enquiry – you will receive an individual quote with all costs included.
How do you coordinate with our event technicians?
Your technical crew and stage direction receive all the necessary information on music, lighting and stage requirements while the quote is being prepared. On the day of the event I arrive in good time for the rehearsal, so everything runs like clockwork.
Is a performance with a live orchestra or band possible?
Yes. My shows have been accompanied by live orchestras and big bands on several occasions, including the New Year concert with the Capitol Symphony Orchestra in Neunkirchen. We will work out the details individually.
What kind of stage do you need?
A level area of 3m x 3m and a ceiling height of at least 2.5 metres are all it takes – on professional stages just as well as on an open area in the ballroom. Sound and lighting are coordinated with your technical crew.
Can both show acts be performed on one gala evening?
Yes, in fact that is a very popular choice: the elegant handstand show "Vision" during the festive part and the lively hula hoop show "Swingtime" as a second act later in the evening.
Can you put together a complete gala programme with several artists?
Yes. Many years on variety and gala stages have given me an excellent network of hosts, magicians and other performers, and I will gladly put together a complete variety-style evening programme for you – from the compère to the closing act, tailored to your audience and budget.
