Objective:
- Inspire guests to take action towards their dreams.
- Chills, thrills and tears – find those Ooh moments.
- Activism by spectacular – encourage Justice, Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (JEDI)
- Integrate new technologies and more data points to increase involvement in the storytelling.
Concept:
A first-of-its kind reactive spectacular with purpose. By optionally using calls to action, calls and response, audio and visual sensors, reactive drones and real-time and crowd-sourced footage that actively change the show, we will involve guests in the outcome and allow them to see that their actions can affect change in the world.

Like a fledgling bird, a dream can start small. Warm in your embrace, a dream is yours to nuture, to protect, to GROW! A dream that you will soon let loose to soar above the clouds. No matter what, it always starts with a dream…
