Tours
Conferences
Live Production
Immersive Environments
Large Scale Projection
Retail

We design and produce events, tours and installations of every scale — from intimate banquet halls to conference centres, theatres and arenas.

Our ‘design first’ approach — combined with our extensive experience with both the challenges and opportunities in the world of live production — allows us to bring a fresh and innovative take in partnering with clients to see their tour, event, conference or installation delight their audience.

We are hands-on in our approach and enjoy partnering with artists, organizations and individuals at 30,000 feet as well as right at ground level. We get our hands dirty in the details of production design, budgets, programming and more. We are invested to ensure that we are working with our partners to truly create a powerful moment that matters.

Colours & Shapes made our fish do the impossible — swim across the Cambie street bridge. This team met huge storytelling challenges with art, technology and deep collaboration. They pushed new technologies to their limit. They found elegant solutions allowing us to edit intuitively and our fish to be luminescent and in focus over a bridge half a mile deep and 30 feet high. We took heartstopping artistic risks together — as a director, I would work with Colours and Shapes again in a heartbeat. It doesn’t get better than this.
