Research to physical production
What we can develop together.
01
Characters & visual research
Develop a character brief around Artemis, Athena, Achilles or the myth your production explores. Connect the story with costume silhouettes, signature objects, masks and visual references, then shape a consistent look for the cast.
02
Costumes, masks & custom making
Combine collection pieces with costumes, masks and props made to your brief. Develop the colour, materials, fit and finish through specialist workshops, including 3D-printed props and scenic elements where appropriate.
03
Performance direction & preparation
Bring the character into movement through posture, gesture, costume and object handling. Coordinate performers, fittings, rehearsals and performance direction for a filmed scene, a staged encounter or an immersive experience.
04
Film, television & live experiences
Build a coordinated production for the camera, a private event or a cultural programme. Combine mythological characters with music, storytelling, scenic details and practical support in Greece, with the format shaped around the venue and audience.
Mythological worldbuilding
A shared reference for every department.
A mask, a costume and a performer work together to make a character recognisable. We develop their shared visual language across the production, from a single mythological encounter to an ensemble of gods, heroes and creatures.
Planning the work
Define the scope. Then prepare the production.
Existing pieces
Rental depends on the selected object, dates, condition, fit and intended use. Archive photographs show the collection’s work; they do not guarantee stock.
New commissions
Agree the references, dimensions, materials, finish and schedule before fabrication. Specialist making is developed with the appropriate collaborators.
Support in Greece & abroad
Research, fittings, packing, transport coordination and on-site support are scoped around the project. Share the location, dates and required action with the first brief.
Tell us the period, story, location, dates and the objects or people you need to prepare. Include visual references and an indicative budget where available.
