We traveled to Turkmenistan to work as part of the stage management team on the huge production that was the 2oth anniversary of independence. The show was held in the newly built stadium, and featured a huge cast  over 5000 in addition to live horses camels, acrobats  some huge scenic elements and a very large amount of fireworks!!

It was an amazing opportunity to visit this country and work with a large international team from  K events.

As always a few pictures below.

We were thrilled to once more be working with the legendary Pam,  for her first ever show during Paris Fashion Week, we took care of the casting and production of  the show  which was hosted by On|Off.

The Sphinx dining club is a  fantastic community project which we were thrilled to be part of once more, this time around we transformed the  vast vacant victorian booking hall at Crystal Palace station into a decadent 194o’s Nightclub,  our many guest all came dressed to the nines in clothes from the period and were entertained with a whole host of performers, and ate and drank as though  rationing was a thing of the past!

We were thrilled to be asked to work with the very talented Nicholas Oakwell and his team on his first Couture show,  held at the French Salon in Claridges, the timeless elegance of the venue was a perfect setting for these beautiful garments, inspired by the scenic designs of Christopher and Robert Ironside for  Sir Frederick Ashton’s ballet ‘Sylvia’ which was shown for the first time at Sadler’s Wells in 1952.

We had a great team on board bringing Nicholas’s vision to life, the ever smiling and super talented Kate Lindsay was the lead makeup artist, whilst Roxanne Attard  worked her Magic on the hair, and Gianluca Longo styled the show.
