The largest Ceremonies in Olympic history, likely forever.

Three stunning and spectacular ceremonies assembled in a custom-built venue, finalised just days before the Opening Ceremony.

A notoriously audacious and challenging production that quickly became a global milestone for live production, solidifying a generation of international production talent.

A nine-month engagement through Milan, Moscow and Sochi to become a central point for the Ceremonies producer and production departments across three concurrent organisations.

Personal Highlights
  • Development to Delivery on three epic Ceremonies
  • Management of ceremonies-dedicated BWS staff of 200+ pax and their contractors
  • Operational interface between CSA, FiveCurrents & Balich Wonder Studio producers
  • Special Projects including exiting Ukrainian staff following the Crimean annex, re-engaging the entire production team between ceremonies
