NEWSUBSTANCE

NEWSUBSTANCE is an award-winning creative studio within the Live Art and Entertainment industry. We have over 20 years’ experience in designing and delivering brave and ambitious projects that blur the lines of art, engineering, and technology. We occupy the space where design meets drama. From creative direction to fabrication, we build from a strong design aesthetic and engineering perspective, propelled by the principle that every aspect of our work has to perform. We are a team of designers and engineers. We are diverse, disruptive, and driven. We love what we do. The studio’s breadth of work includes SEE MONSTER; which transformed a decommissioned offshore platform from the North Sea into one of the UK's largest public art installations, and Spectra, the first resident art installation at Coachella Valley Music Arts Festival. Other projects include the Dubai Expo 2020, where we designed and delivered a large-scale expanding planet for the Opening Ceremony; the scenic automation for Disney’s Broadway & West End production of Frozen the Musical, and the design, creation and execution of the kinetic scenic elements for Through the Echoes for Lune Rouge in Montreal. Our artwork, Spectra, won the 2018 Best of Design Award in the Lighting–Outdoor category at the Architects Newspaper Awards and a gold prize at the International Design Awards.
