In October 2024, we partnered with lead creative Harry Clayton-Wright for the Research and Development phase of Mr Blackpool, supported by Arts Council England and Marlborough Productions. This collaboration led to the creation of content for the show, which culminated in a preview performance at the Attenborough Centre for Creative Arts in Brighton in March 2025.
During the week of install, we took on the technical design for the show, working closely with the lighting programmers to bring the vision to life. This included integrating Pyro effects, CO2 bursts, and dry ice to elevate the visual impact. We also designed the audio elements of the production, building a comprehensive QLab file to manage all the cues. At the end of the process, we conducted a handover to the team responsible for calling the performances, ensuring a smooth transition into the run.
To capture the behind-the-scenes journey, Matt Crockett, Rosie Powell, and James Barnett were invited to document the production process through photography and video, providing a visual record of the creative and technical work that went into bringing Mr Blackpool to the stage.
