Entrance, set or both?
In Coleraine, an entrance moves with people from a defined starting point to a clear destination. A performance set stays within an agreed area and gives guests a focused live feature. If your day would benefit from both, share the order and the time between each moment.
A useful Coleraine plan describes the result you want guests to experience: anticipation before an entrance, energy through a procession or a confident lift inside the room. We can then discuss how the format supports that result.
