Effigy Ceremony Call for Artists & Crew

What If: Cat If‽ The Feline Dream Machine

2026 Effigy Ceremony – Call for Artists & Crew 

Saturday, July 25 | Performance at 10pm

We invite you into a world of whiskers, wonder, and wild imagination…

What If: Cat If‽ The Feline Dream Machine calls us to explore curiosity, play, mystery, and mischief—through movement, light, and shared creation.

Playful shenanigans and zoomies abound,
Boots and cats, fun fur and sass,
Imaginations that astound—flowing all around.

We invite participants to interpret this theme in their own way—whether sleek and stealthy, soft and surreal, chaotic and curious, or somewhere in between.

There is room in this dream machine for all expressions!

About the Ceremony

The What If Effigy Ceremony is a luminous, one-night-only spectacle that transforms the night into a living canvas.

Without fire, we turn to bold inventions:  LEDs, projection, sound, costume, movement, and story come together to create an immersive sensory experience.

• Dancers, flow artists, movers, and performers
• Curious humans ready to play, collaborate, and co-create

Costuming

Dress to Purr, kittens.

Think disco leopards, rhinestone tigers, velvet panthers, alley-cat glamour, and full feline fantasy. Lights, texture, shine, fur, flow, glam, and mischief encouraged.

Tickets

All participants must secure their own ticket to the event.

Whether you take the stage or hold the container from behind the scenes, your presence is part of the magic.

Together, we’ll create a world that glows, prowls, pulses—and lingers long after the lights fade.
