Community Domes
Next-Generation Positive Impact Immersive Entertainment
Community Domes are community placemaking centers built around a multipurpose immersive dome theater that combines ticketed entertainment shows with activities that serve local communities. Ticketed shows are carefully chosen for positive social impact and include daytime family programming and spectacular evening entertainment. Community activities include civic events, creative placemaking activities and events supporting community well-being such as group meditations, immersive yoga, faith-based gatherings, and sound baths.
entertainment, education and fun!
Positive-Impact Programming
Vortex Community Domes can access a variety of proven positive-impact ticketed programming ranging from daytime family or educational experiences to evening entertainment films from WORLDS including Mesmerica and Beautifica. Custom signature shows can also be produced for tourist destinations.
Community Domes are also well suited to live performances by local bands, DJ/VJ dance lounge events and restorative experiences such as The Journey. Ticketed events assure positive cashflow for a sustainable facility.
