Prodution Design and Management Services

Lighting Design

Our lighting design services support productions from early planning through to final performance. Our experienced lighting designers work closely with directors and creative teams throughout rehearsals and technical planning to develop a lighting design that enhances storytelling, atmosphere, and audience experience.

Lighting design services vary depending on the scale, complexity, and technical requirements of the production, and may include:

  • Design meetings with the director and creative team
  • Attendance at rehearsals and run-throughs
  • Liaison with set and production designers
  • Creation of a detailed lighting plan for the rig
  • Specification and sourcing of appropriate lighting fixtures
  • Oversight of the lighting rig installation
  • Focus, plotting, and technical rehearsal sessions

Sound Design

Our sound design services support productions by shaping how audiences hear and experience your show. Our experienced sound designers can create and source sound effects, advise on microphone requirements, and provide creative input on where soundscapes, underscoring, and audio tracks can enhance storytelling and atmosphere. Working closely with your creative team, we help develop a sound design that is both technically robust and creatively effective.

Video Design

Where video forms part of your production, our video design services ensure content and technology work seamlessly together. A dedicated video designer creates bespoke visual content, working to an existing equipment specification or designing and specifying the most appropriate video systems, screens, and control solutions to achieve the strongest creative and technical impact.

Show Technicians/Operators

Our experienced technical operators provide reliable, hands-on support throughout your production, ensuring sound, lighting, and video elements run smoothly. From mixing audio levels for tracks, microphones, and live bands to advancing cues and providing general technical support, our operators help deliver a clear, consistent experience for your audience. Whether working with your existing equipment or supplying our own, our team is experienced across a wide range of industry-standard manufacturers and control systems.

Full Event Production

If you’re looking for full support, our production management service covers every technical aspect from planning to delivery. Our background in both theatre and event production means we’re as comfortable behind the scenes as we are leading a full team to ensure the best outcome.
