Fighting fit!
We’ve been enjoying some outdoor fun with our medieval duellists this summer. Our actors are trained and qualified with the BASSC, (British Academy of Stage and Screen Combat), and add another dimension of performance to a duel, as opposed to reenactment or military historians. What everyone loves is bit of tense drama and to cheer…

EhOh!
Teletubbies is a children’s programme recognised the world over. We had no idea how well recognised until recently we took the parts of Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Lala and Po in order to promote the re launch of the new Teletubbies this year. During a photo shoot over a few days at the Milan Expo we…

What a Great Rapport!
Adhoc were called in last minute to work with Rapport agency recently, facilitating an enormously complicated team building event for Capital One. The crew at Rapport were some of the nicest people we’ve worked with but we couldn’t have been prouder of the team of actors we put together. Not only professional and slick but…

The Lost Generation of actors!
Have you noticed the phrase”emerging talent”? It is always accompanied by portraits of very young actors, fresh out of drama school, looking to make a living in the business, quite often starry eyed with visions of fame dancing before them.

Glamour Explained
If you are aglow with excitement at the end of a performance or seeing the celebs walk the red carpet, (fairly sure they’re looking great but thinking, “What’s my next job”)

How to trap an actor
It’s easy really, use food. Free food. That’s important, it has to be free food. A buffet works as well as a basket of muffins or flapjack. Some actors have evolved the ability to materialise next to a buffet just as it opens. Others have grown special pouches that can conceal food they can’t eat…

Voyage on the wild seas
So we are doing a job in Oslo, Norway. Exciting stuff! Taking the dinosaur traveling on a cargo ship with only a small amount of other passengers. Makes you think of romantic stories like “around the world in 80 days” doesn’t it? Wandering the boat to make discoveries or striding out on deck to feel…
