Stage the best work of your life and let it feel easy
When the uncertainty is overwhelming and you’re fumbling around in the dark, we’re here to help.
1:1 Chat
Spend an hour with the producers who have made the impossible into reality. Move people across a closed national border during the Covid-19 Pandemic? Led a team to sell a million tickets at Edinburgh Fringe? Make juggling cool? Hang 2.7 tonnes of ice off a crane and put a woman atop it for 10 hours? We’ve done it.
You’re asking “what do we do now?” and need someone with answers. Let’s have a chat, you can ask all the curly questions and we’ll give you the know-how and confidence that empowers you to make bold decisions and swing for the fences.
1:1 Consults are $550 + GST for an hour
Strategy and implementation
You’ve decided to go big or go home and taken on that ambitious project that makes you equal parts excited and terrified.
You need a safety blanket, strategist and cheerleader in one neat package, so you’re going to team up with us and we’ll advise you every step of the way.
We’ve worked with Disney Music on an Australian orchestral premiere, staged outdoor spectacles for 50,000 people, renovated a theatre in 48 hours and come out smiling.
We’ll mentor you and your team, put our expertise to work, remove all the obstacles that arise and prevent problems you didn’t even know existed so your team not only develops the skills to execute in the future, they have a positive and successful experience levelling up.
Bespoke strategy and implementation starts at $20,000 + GST

“My performance company would not be where it is today without pivotal guidance from Lauren during a critical point in my first year as a Director in the Arts and Entertainment sector. Upon premiering my first full length show, my company generated fast momentum which came along with big questions that I didn’t yet have the answers to. By connecting with Lauren, my company was empowered to continue blazing an exciting path with reputable knowledge and reliable, ongoing support.
Lauren upholds a unique combination of rich industry knowledge, deep compassion for artists and outstanding support of the performance industry as a whole. It is rare to find industry professionals with such a beautiful blend of empathy and knowledge, which are qualities I always experience at their utmost when connecting with Lauren..”
