Learning Stages Produced this event on behalf of The Royal Docks. The show was commissioned by the Dock Local Panel and supported by the Royal Docks Team. Learning Stages provided sound, video pre-record and live capture and other technical and logistical support for the event. Our team also mentored the acts performing through the day, engaged the judging panel and master of ceremonies.

London City Hall proved a tricky site to work in, with multiple stakeholders and high security for this event. Our team navigated these challenges, ensuring we showed the upmost respect for the venue, staff and processes whilst delivering an excellent event on time and to budget.

“We appointed Learning Stages to work with us on producing The Docks Factor within a tight timeframe, in consultation with our creative residents’ group, the Dock Local Panel. Learning Stages designed an excellent process for mentoring and supporting our local talent contestants, while delivering a high-quality technical production that created a fantastic experience for both performers and audiences alike.”
