Live Design International (LDI) 2024

A behind-the-scenes look at the life-cycles of international productions (War Horse, Back to the Future, Angels in America, Dorian Gray) the experience of touring major technically complex productions, the mechanisms of transferring between the West End and Broadway, and introducing new protocols for production management and technical excellence as a foundation for a hybrid studio. For Back to The Future, a look at building bespoke DeLorean’s for each international show and what we’ve learnt about fabricating Special FX projects in a cost-competitive industry, and the wider challenges of transfers and touring massive shows. And a segue to the opportunities available to a new generation of practitioners within the production arts and help answer the question of how and where to start and how to increase chances of personal success by making the right choices at the right time and the career ladder that can be expected as a novice or recently graduated technical designer.
