The Challenge
Brought in by Black Skull to work alongside Progress Productions on Ella Eyre’s half-time performance at The Hundred Final, at Lord’s. The staging that arrived on the day wasn’t what we’d planned for, and there was no time to point fingers, so we got on and adapted it. We kept Ella, the ECB and Lord’s, and Progress all happy, and made sure the structure was safe to dance on and comfortable for the dancers.

My Role
Creative Producer.

What I Learnt
Live shows rarely go to plan, and the best ones are the ones where the audience never sees the scramble. Staying calm, keeping everyone talking and being willing to adapt meant we could turn a tricky situation into a performance that still felt like Ella’s, on a stage as historic as Lord’s.
