The Six Foot Creation (SFC) Foundation aims to combine art and performance with taking responsibility for our planet and taking concrete action. In the second half of February 2023, their first event, the ‘Chimera Gala’ will take place in a thus far non-disclosed location. Part of this event will be the act, ‘Chimera’. One of a kind and not to be missed!
To celebrate International Women’s Day 2022, St. Pancras International Station in London, UK, will host Lost and Found, a series of micro-operas. Created by women composer and librettist teams.

The organizers have decided to play it safe and have officially announced the cancellation of their 2021 in-person event. An interactive virtual event will take place August 21 to September 5, but hopes are high to get back to the Nevada desert in 2022.

Although we already had our office at the bottom of our garden, like many of you we’ve been trying to get used to the new normal and help support clients who have had events postponed or cancelled. Our main advice to them, as to you, is keep talking to those people you wanted to meet at the show, stay on their radar and ask what they need right now.
Leon Lai is one of the “Four Heavenly Kings” of Hong Kong; superstar HK actor and famous Cantopop singer from the 90’s. His songs are well known across Asia-Pacific and Mainland China and because his live concerts are limited, there’s huge anticipation and crowd turnout every time he performs.
Recently, I returned from doing a show at a large union venue in Chicago. I know that a lot of people have worked in venues around the US that are run by IATSE (International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees). I am sure the experiences are both positive and negative.

Entertainment events are generally held indoors in theatres and arenas, but some occur outside in a variety of different conditions.
