Hello! We are a group of skilled Producers, Technicians and Artists.
We are technical experts for creative work
Big ideas don’t need big teams. Just the right one.
At Actuate Technical, we believe the best technical work disappears into the art. We’re here to support artists, producers, and organisations with the bespoke technology and hands-on expertise that turns creative ideas into reality — from concept through to completion.
No bloated teams. No generic packages. Just tailored, flexible solutions that serve the work.
Based in Edinburgh and working across the UK and internationally, we bring together a trusted network of independent specialists — production consultants, designers, engineers, makers — who collaborate project-by-project to deliver exactly what each job demands.
Our clients range from independent artists and theatre companies to global brands and cultural institutions. Whether we’re electrifying a sculpture, designing a show control system, or consulting on a full-scale festival, the throughline is always the same:
We’re here to help creative people make bold things happen.
Our Ethos
We’re not here to overcomplicate. We’re here to enable.
With over 20 years of combined experience, we understand both the pressure and the magic of live work. Our job is to bridge the gap between the idea and the technical execution — with tools that are clean, clever, and fit for purpose.
