BIRMINGHAM COMMONWEALTH GAMES HANDOVER CEREMONY

UK 2018

Our designs for set, props costumes and décor dressed this single shot spectacular musical number, by Progress Productions. ELO’s ‘Mr Blue Sky’ lip synch dance performance appeared live, by satellite link to Australia, to an audience of millions. With only 8 weeks preparation for us, we costumed and made up 1400 volunteer and professional dancers, also from Brimingham Royal ballet, and designed the garden and stage for them to dance in, in the centre of Birmingham’s Victoria Square, as well as numerous items such as a knobbly cloud, giant moon, banner reveals, signs rock guitars and mirror books to name but a few. We would do it again in a heartbeat.
