Undercover Actors!
This is not some blog about how we do team building characters on fun spy missions. Nope. More interesting than that – and more real. Every now and again we’ve been asked to do a job that is a little out of the ordinary. As opposed to a big showy performance, like people often want,…

“Doing” Shakespeare.

Back to the 50’s
For a big screen event at the Cineworld O2 recently we had to trip back in time – again! Creating characters from the golden age of cinema, when theatres were all gilt and red velvet, we found Eugene, the slightly hypochondriac usher, new to the job, keen but nervous as anything because his mom told…

Getting carried away, (not literally).
So sorry for the last couple of posts, they were merely reflective of the quite random sort of job that sometimes lands on us! I guess I got a bit carried away with the fantastical element of it all! Meanwhile we have been operating business as usual, despite the political turmoil swirling around us. Some of…
