Creative Development & Consulting

From first idea to a bookable act

Fifteen years of stage experience, passed on

Creative work on two levels: consulting on the line-up and dramaturgy of a show programme, with access to a network of international artists, and creative development for artists looking to build or elevate their own act. Both are grounded in 15 years of my own stage experience.

Creative Consulting for Events

A great evening isn’t built on strong individual acts alone, but on the dramaturgy behind them. Which act opens, which one closes, how tension builds across the evening, and which artists genuinely fit each other and the occasion. With 15 years of international stage experience and a network of established artists built up along the way, I help with exactly this kind of planning. Whether a single programme slot is missing or a full show concept for a gala or corporate event needs to come together, I advise on the line-up, the dramaturgy, and the introduction to the right artists.

Creative Development With Artists

An original act rarely comes from a single idea. It comes from many small decisions: character, music, timing, and a sense for what actually holds up on stage. For artists looking to develop an original act or bring an existing one further, I offer creative development, from first concept through to a stage-ready choreography. Technique training for Cyr Wheel and aerial straps is part of this, alongside the dramaturgical work on the performance itself.
