Continental Drifts was the production team for the Great British Carnival, working with our client Artaha and the LLDC. Marking the midway point between the London and Rio Olympics, the Great British Carnival was a fantastic event of dance, infectious music, performance and costume for the whole family to enjoy.
The event hosted the world premiere of The Carnival of the Animals: a magical twilight crescendo of costumed performers, 300 dancers, giant carnivalesque creatures and extraordinary illumination.
“The Great British Carnival in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park was such a happy, beautiful day thoroughly enjoyed by performers and audiences alike. Artaha are proud to have designed such a lovely event and Continental Drifts were the perfect partners to produce it, bringing with them creative ideas, a thorough understanding of the event brief and a top-quality production service. We can’t wait to work with them again.” Teresa Askew, artistic director, Great British Carnival
