Are you emerging, fearless and enquiring?

Yes? Pull up a chair. Let’s talk.

REMIX is fascinated with the idea of adaptation: in how content transfers but also how forms and skills translate. Why do we, as practitioners, choose the mediums we do to tell the stories we tell?

REMIX is looking to bring together a creative team of exciting emerging practitioners who have asserted themselves as innovators in film, theatre, fashion, music and the digital arts but who have never created a piece of theatre before. We’ll collaborate and communicate, creating a live performance with an ensemble of actors.

It doesn’t stop there. Each creative will be tasked with adapting the play into a bespoke adaptation for their own specialism. The REMIXes – the play in its five incarnations – will be launched at a live event on 29 and 30 April 2010 – alchemizing the theatre, visual art, virtual media, fashion, music and literary industries.

REMIX will steal all the best bits of all the mediums whilst leaving behind the constraints/rules. If Carlsberg made theatre…. It would be REMIX.

The promotional marketing and modelling industries are certainly aesthetic but, as has always been our mantra at Mash, the key is combining this great ‘look’ with a fantastically vivacious and engaging personality. One simply does not work without the other……a bit like fish without chips…….salt without vinegar…..the rock without the roll!!

We thought we would impart a few tips as to how to make the most of your photos and maximise their impact when you send in a fresh application for promotional/modelling work or even just update your details with us.

“You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression”

There are distinctly different areas of specialism within promotions and here we’ll explore how a photo can support your application or profile with the different jobs in mind.

General Promotional Work

This is a fantastic photograph as it encapsulates energy and charisma and in such a natural and effusive way. A client would be more than interested in this as a profile as it indicates the kind of smiling energy that makes all the difference within promotions.

Fashion/Costume Work

Again, the photographer has captured a natural energy and look that combine well to really help emphasise the importance of the clothes in this photograph. If fashion modelling is a route you want to explore then the key to the photographs in your profile is to clearly show how comfortable you are in different varieties of clothing and surroundings.

Modelling Work

Some campaigns require a distinctly ‘professional’ model look and if this is a route you want to go down then you need to ensure the photograph really captures your look and energy but retains that ‘natural’ element that is so key.
