Creating Lasting Memories with Custom Performance Prints

Designing a Lasting Keepsake for a Night Full of Talent and Emotion

At Curious Pixels, we understand that for performance-based businesses, a printed programme is not just an event accessory. It is the event, made tangible. That was exactly the case for our work with the Dionne Monteiro School of Dance on their annual concert programme for The Movies and Musicals Show - a standout moment in their creative calendar.

The Event Context

The Movies and Musicals Show is the highlight of the year for Dionne Monteiro’s talented students. This professional-level showcase brings together dancers, families and the wider community to celebrate hard work, expression and creativity. The event called for a programme that was not only informative but elegant, high quality and truly memorable - a cherished keepsake for performers and families alike.

The Challenge

Dionne had a clear creative vision. She wanted a programme that reflected the same high standards she instils in her teaching. But with limited technical expertise and time, she needed a design partner who could bring that vision to life - someone who could match her expectations with no compromise in quality or flair.

Our Approach

At Curious Pixels, we specialise in working with arts organisations, community groups and local talent. For this project, we collaborated closely with Dionne from the outset. We listened carefully to her goals, translated her vision into design and added expert suggestions where it mattered most. The entire process was seamless and collaborative.

“Communication with Paul was excellent. He listened to what I wanted, had some excellent suggestions, and I could not be happier with the result.”

The Final Outcome

The finished concert programme was more than just a guide for the evening. It became a beautifully produced memento that reflected the calibre of the show itself. Sleek, professional and rich with personality, it gave students and their families a lasting memory of their night in the spotlight.

“Our annual dance show is the highlight of our year. The programme is a lasting memory and, as such, just as important as the show itself.”

Supporting Local Creativity

We believe that design should be accessible not just to big brands but to the passionate people driving grassroots creativity forward. Collaborating with organisations like the Dionne Monteiro School of Dance is about more than delivering print design. It is about helping local talent shine and preserving moments that matter.

Whether you are organising a youth theatre production, a community arts event, a local school showcase, or a charity fundraiser, your project deserves to look the part. These events are the cultural heart of a community. Great design helps them feel as important as they truly are.
