Technical Direction

One technical director. One team. One responsibility: that everything works, no surprises.

The technical direction process

From first call, to delivery

1

Discovery

First contact, meeting and site visit to capture your vision, constraints and your client’s expectations.

2

Feasibility & design

Feasibility study then photorealistic 3D plans to validate the staging before any commitment.

3

Costing & quote

Supplier consultation, detailed estimate and a clear, no-surprise quote presentation.

4

Validation

Revisions, adjustments and final plan sign-off with all stakeholders.

5

Production & show day

Pre-production, team coordination and on-site technical direction on event day.

Our work

Dozens of events directed. None alike.

Galas, festivals, launches, conferences. See the projects where our team handled technical direction from A to Z.

For show producers

The show must go on. No matter what happens before.

The 5pm storm, the late truck, the failing generator, the last-minute rider change. We've seen each of these scenarios. We know what to do because we've already done it.

Our festivals and concerts approach
  • 01 / Stage

    Twelve-minute stage changeovers

    Stage prepped, crew in sync, transitions on the clock. No dead time between two artists.

  • 02 / Riders

    Read, validated, delivered

    Every rider line is checked well before show day. If something is missing, we know before the artist does.

  • 03 / Weather

    Plan B always ready

    Wind, rain, heat. Three scenarios planned, three crews briefed. One decision to make when the moment comes.

  • 04 / Artists

    We speak your language

    Tour managers, road crews, monitor engineers. We've worked with that world. Trust comes fast.

  • 05 / Crowd

    Safety, flow, experience

    Technical direction designed for the audience as much as for the stage. Exits, signage, accessibility, all covered.

  • 06 / Surprise

    It's our daily routine

    We don't panic because we've seen worse. The show goes on. Always.

We did three festivals with them this year. Every time, I got to step on stage and introduce the artists instead of running backstage.

Every scene exists in 3D before it exists for real
Before we direct, we visualize

Every scene exists in 3D before it exists for real

You stop guessing what it'll look like. You see it. Your client sees it. And when he asks to move the podium three metres, nobody panics.

The plans, the angles, the rigging points: all validated before the first case leaves the warehouse. That's where technical direction actually begins.
