SCOPE
01 / The Narrative
Nexus sits at the centre of Boomtown’s storyworld — an organic meeting point where architecture, movement and scenic detail blur together.
The stage was designed around large sculptural forms that felt grown rather than constructed, creating a world that could shift between daylight and night-time without losing its identity.
Our role was to take that creative direction and make it work on the ground, managing the build process while protecting the detail and character that made the stage feel alive.
02 / The Build
Nexus was a large-scale scenic build delivered within the realities of a live festival site.
The work involved coordinating crew, build sequencing, scenic delivery, schedules and installation across multiple structures, with each element needing to connect visually while still working practically within the wider site programme.
Large scenic forms, towers, fabric elements and layered finishes created the overall environment, with the build continually balancing scale, detail and the practical demands of temporary construction.
The result needed to feel cohesive from every angle — not like a collection of separate scenic pieces.
03 / The Details
One of the defining elements of Nexus was the kinetic fabric installation running through the stage.
Individually prepared fabric sections were installed across the structures to create a soft, gill-like effect that moved against the harder scenic forms.
It added another layer of movement to the stage, helping the architecture feel less static and more organic.
