From Concept to Curtain - Designing Spaces for Performance Excellence
We are dedicated performance space designers with deep expertise in performance space planning, technical system design, and operational strategy. With decades of hands-on experience in theatre production, architecture, and engineering, we help create venues that work — for performers, audiences, and technicians alike.
We advise on all aspects of theatre and performance infrastructure, including stage engineering, technical systems, front-of-house planning and operational strategy. Whether supporting a new-build, refurbishment or feasibility study, we bring clear thinking, real-world knowledge and a collaborative approach to every project.
We specialise in:
- Performing Arts Centers
- Black Box Theatres
- Schools, College and University Halls & Auditoriums
- Community theatres
- Worship spaces
- Multipurpose venues
- Television & Production Studios
Our mission is to guide clients, architects, designers, and builders in creating world-class performance spaces that are both artistically inspiring and technically sound. Whether it's a historic theatre renovation or a brand-new performing arts center, we bring creative vision, deep industry knowledge, and hands-on expertise to every project. Our collaborative approach ensures each space reflects its artistic mission, technical needs, and budget.
From early concept through to handover, we bring clear thinking, real-world knowledge and a collaborative approach to every project. We provide independent advice, clear documentation and in depth technical knowledge, helping clients make informed decisions and get the best long-term value from their investment.
A theatre consultant will bridge the gap between the original vision and technical reality. We work alongside architects, engineers, venue managers, and production teams to ensure all elements of the space are purpose designed and built for performance use and address all technical challenges along the way.
