Dionysian Debauchery at St Catherine's May Ball

The Serpentine Fatale was proud to launch our first Experience at St Catherine's May Ball earlier this summer! For the fantastic ball, set among the decadent 16th century architecture of St Catherine's college, we created a magical wonderland of creatures to surprise and interact with the guests and encourage the revelry!

Our fabulous, toga-clad Dionysian Procession consisted of a brilliant band of musicians lead by bannermen, and accompanied by charming and seductive nymph dancers. We entertained the excited guests in the que before the event opened, giving them a taste of the fun that was waiting for them within the gates! We even persuaded a few guests to join the nymphs for a spot of dancing. 

The beautiful dancers greeted latecomers with glasses of champagne with raspberries, and even danced with a barbershop quartet to a thrilled audience.

In addition to our procession we had some exceptional character entertainers bringing magic to the May Ball - the beautiful Flower Goddess Stiltwalker amazed the crowds as a living piece of an enchanted forest, and was accompanied by our tall Satyr Stiltwalker, bouncing through the crows and dancing with the DJ's on his furry legs! 

Entertaining the guests through the late night were our cheeky Satyr character performers, encouraging guests to party hearty and making everyone laugh. They had a surprising number of requests for audience members to be able to stroke their furry tails.... 

And who did we bump into in the Cheese Room other than old college alumni, Sir Ian McKellen himself? We took a chance to chat to him about Demelza Fox's Gandalf burlesque act, and he told us he always thought he looked rather fetching in hotpants.
