Decadance Co’s Recent Path-breaking Performance: No Corners
Watch: Teaser of ‘‘No Corners’’ Performance
Decadance Co recently staged an invigorating performance “No Corners” on the rooftop of Design Orchard on Orchard Road, Singapore. The concept of “No Corners” revolved around the idea of comfort and discomfort. The flashing billboards, the bright city lights in the background added a certain discomfort to the audience, whereas the performers indulged in comfort on a sofa. After sometime, perhaps the audience found the familiarity of the billboards and the light a comforting sight. Many audience members were intrigued by the use of the space, set, lights and film component to bring out the concept with artistic integrity and delivery.

Why Custom Promotional Products?
Edwin and Rachel had three requirements:
1. A novel idea to raise funds for Decadance Co,
2. Something for the audience to take back from the performance that would remind them about the experience they had during the show.
3. Quirky, relatable merchandise that people who haven’t watched the show would like to purchase
A quick Google and social media search led Decadance Co to Gumtoo Stickers. Many brainstorming sessions later, Decadance Co found what they were looking for-custom made vinyl stickers, enamel pins and embroidered patches. The exclusive designs revolved around their ‘’No Corners” performance, featuring a sofa and the concept of comfort and discomfort.
How Decadance Co used Custom Merchandise for Fundraising:
Decadance Co set up a stall at the venue of their “No Corners” performance, where they retailed their custom vinyl stickers, enamel pins and embroidered patches. The custom promotional products were a huge hit among the audience, and many used it on their bags, books and laptops.
Decadance Co is also retailing the merch online at https://bit.ly/3bENEXm to meet their fundraising goal.
