Yard Gnome Productions™ is a group of traveling performance artists/ friends who share a common love of dance, music, and all things nerd. We all come from a traditional background but have expanded our creativity to bring to Conventions a show and presence that not only reflects our own eccentric personalities but can reach other individuals that flock together in this unique and accepting environment.
YGP consists of many types of performers including but not limited to: Bellydancers, live musicians, fire, hoop, poi, and staff dancers. We have a constant flow of entertainers that rotate in and out throughout the year to continuously offer a fresh variety of entertainment. There are many different types of bellydance such as. tribal, cabaret, goth and others. The costuming, music, and themes are geared to reach all genres of fandom.
YGP will have a booth with impromptu performances and will appear at the drumming circle. Members will give workshops throughout the convention and the full cast will perform their epic intergalactic space opera "Star Wars VS Star Trek" (official title of the production to be announced)!
