When the audience feels something real, that’s when the magic happens.
Every project we take on is a chance to build something meaningful—an experience that doesn’t just impress, but resonates. Using light, sound, sense, and movement, we create immersive moments that invite audiences to feel, explore, and connect. Collaboration is at the core of what we do, and we love working with artists, organizations, and businesses to bring bold ideas to life. Let’s bring your vision to life with creativity, craft, and passion—reach out and let’s build something unforgettable.
Hire PORTL&PORTL& is led by four artists who believe that powerful experiences come from deep collaboration across disciplines. Faye brings a curator’s eye and a producer’s mind, orchestrating visuals, people, and plans into striking, heartfelt moments. Joe engineers the impossible, crafting physical and digital magic from scratch with the precision of a seasoned art fabricator. Sara carries the heartbeat of performance, choreographing emotions, stories, and movement to create unforgettable interactions. And Darrel merges code and creativity, designing immersive tech-driven spaces that resonate just as strongly as paint on canvas. Together, they turn wild ideas into real-world experiences that reshape reality—they’re a collective of creators who bring immersive stories to life with soul, sweat, and circuitry.
