What we offer

Stage management coordination and teams

We select the stage managers, build the team around the project and assign roles. We run the briefing and prepare local teams when the event takes place abroad.

Stage management

We coordinate artists, hosts, participants and speakers: rehearsals, entrances, exits, changeovers and transitions, following the running order together with production, direction, the TV director and the technical departments.

Broadcast floor management

At televised galas and events, we coordinate hosts, award winners and presenters with the director and the control room, so every entrance lands on time and on camera.

Who leads it

Jesús Llorente «Maño»

In stage management since 2009, he now works as head stage manager in stadiums, arenas, galas and international competitions. His strength is combining a stage eye with live technical and team coordination.

“These years have taught me to measure timings, foresee everyone’s moves and read people and teams. Live, you need a cool head and quick solutions: the secret is always to stay one step ahead.”

Geni

Trained in theatre stage management, with experience in production, artist coordination and theatre management (Teatre Apolo, Barcelona). She was part of the stage management team at La Velada del Año, in charge of sponsorships, and assistant director at the Premios Ciudad de Palma 2025 gala.

Teams built for each project

One stage manager embedded in your production, or a full team. We choose the professionals according to the format, the venue and the number of artists, and coordinate them from start to finish. At La Velada del Año, the team grew from four to six stage managers from one edition to the next.

And if you also need the show, we create it and run it live: Cuatr8chos handles both the artistic side and the stage management, with a single point of contact.
