The Boy Who Played the Harp Tour features several striking production design elements and cameos which not only do their job in eliciting a reaction but deliver fleeting, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moments that require months of planning, collaboration and rehearsals to realise. Yet, as has become a hallmark of DAVE’s output, nothing is predictable. Setlists, guest artists and backstage cues change. This not only keeps the crew – an award-winning team whose stories TPi Magazine have charted over several years – on their toes, but in an era of artifice, provides an organic experience. To meet the brief, Paddy Hocken brought in experts in their field, including Beat the Street Band & Crew Bussing (crew travel), Skan PA Hire – a Clair Global company (audio), Dutch Barrier Services (barriers), ER Productions and FABER Entertainment Engineering (lasers and special effects), Freight Minds (freighting), HZ Audio (audio control), Lovely Things (furniture), Luke Halls Studio (visual content), Neg Earth Lights (automation, lighting and rigging), Popcorn Catering, Production Park (production rehearsals), Stage Miracles (local crew), STUFISH LIMITED (co-production design), TAG (travel agents), TAIT (staging and lifts), TIM ROUTLEDGE DESIGN LIMITED (co-production design), Transam Trucking Limited (logistics), Universal Pixels (video), and others. 🔗: https://lnkd.in/ec7yEGcA 📸: Timmsy
