Live + Behind the scenes

The curtain has two sides.

Theatre, music, rehearsals, and the work and audience rarely gets to see.


What we make

A closer account.

Photographs and short films made with a documentary eye,
and a footprint that leaves room for the performance.

1

Preparation.

Rehearsals, backstage, artists, crews, and process: the work behind the work.

2

Performance.

Live theatre, music, cultural events, and the exchange between performer and audience.

3

What Remains.

Production stills, editorial images, behind-the-scene films, and selective documentation.
