starquivo follows UK productions from the first camera plan to the final curtain call — interviews, lighting design and the crews who make the spotlight land exactly where it should.

2016
starquivo began as a small notebook of backstage notes from a handful of touring crew members. United by a passion for the craft behind the curtain, they set out to give camera planning and lighting design the same attention usually reserved for the finished performance.
Today the team covers venues across the UK, from West End houses to touring arenas, translating technical production work into stories that any reader can follow — without losing the detail that crews care about.
