A lasting keepsake for a night full of talent, emotion, and standing ovations.

At Curious Pixels, we know that for performance-based businesses, the printed programme isn’t just part of the event — it is the event, in tangible form. That was exactly the case for this project with Dionne Monteiro School of Dance, who entrusted us with the design of their annual concert programme for The Movies and Musicals Show.

The Event Context

The Movies and Musicals Show is the highlight of the year for Dionne Monteiro’s students — a professional level performance that brings together dancers, families, and the wider community to celebrate hard work, creativity, and talent. The programme had to live up to the magic of the event, serving as both a guide and a cherished keepsake.

The Pain Point or Goal

Dionne had a clear vision of how she wanted the programme to look — elegant, high quality, and aligned with the high standards of her teaching. But with limited technical skills and no time to figure it all out herself, she needed someone who could take her ideas and bring them to life without compromise.

The Curious Pixels Experience

We worked closely with Dionne to understand exactly what she wanted, listening carefully, offering creative suggestions, and making sure every detail reflected the care and prestige of the performance itself. The communication was smooth, the process collaborative, and the outcome aligned perfectly with her expectations.

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

The Final Result

The finished programme was more than just printed paper — it was a beautifully designed memento that matched the calibre of the show itself. Sleek, professional, and filled with personality, it became a lasting memory for every student and family in attendance.

“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, Creating Lasting Impact

At Curious Pixels, we believe great design should be accessible — not just for big brands, but for the passionate people and community groups doing meaningful work on the ground. Collaborating with organisations like the Dionne Monteiro School of Dance is about more than design; it’s about helping local talent shine, preserving memories, and giving back to the communities we’re part of.

From youth theatres to charity events, grassroots festivals to school showcases — these aren’t “small” projects. They’re the heart of a place, and they deserve to look the part.

We’re always proud to support creative work in our community. If you’re planning something special, we’d love to help you make it unforgettable.
