My name is Jan Ising and I am with you to "make it happen, to let you shine"
The experience of over 35y in production of any style of global events
Based on emotional Light, Scenic and technical skills + endless curiosity
I love what I do - And I am connected to awesome partners all around the world
Already in the '80 I started as a technician in amazing german theaters and parallel as a production assistant in several broadcast companies until I decided to dedicate my life to "ones in a life-time" events around the globe. To see and to understand the world.
During the years, working as a creative production-manager with the most creative heads and artists of the industry, I started additional to develop full comprehensive public event concepts. The staging of Cities, of public spaces. Representing cultures and identity.
City-Marketing, Large-scale public events, Light-Festivals,
Conferences, Award Ceremonies, Sports- & Protocol Events
To make big since happen - To make even small moments big.
This is my passion and profession.
One challenge in our in technology focussed society is to keep the humanity, the social- and the emotional engagement in a serious relation.
All logistically, safety and budget related issues need a professional balance with creativity, operational needs, artistic skills and media related requirements.
To bring ist together and make it successfully operational is what I do for your and my own projects
Either as the Project developer, Production Manager or ShowCaller
Stronger together through "Unity in diversity"
FACES is my cultural art-project presenting identity in humanity. FACES appeared already in Germany, Switzerland, Israel, Portugal, the Netherlands,...
We all are one on the giant 8m high, 3-dimensional "universal face" sculpture .
A High-end peace of artistic video-projection, photography and storytelling project
Every city is creating its own face through history, art, architecture and the variety of all different people as a unity. Everyone can show up as "a prominent face of his own city"
Since 2011 I am creating unique FACES-Art installations and Events around the world.

Special Shows like Yamato, several Musicals and I joined the team of Cirque du Soleil in Europe for several years.

Major Exhibitions, Protocol Events and Ceremonies all over Europe, in China, Japan, MiddleEast, the US and SouthAmerica.
The sky is the limit
In 2022 I finally joined the amazing team of AO-Creative & AO-Drones as a senior production & creative manager.
We are creating the most impressive and breathtaking Drone-shows all around the world.

Expo2020Dubai
The biggest and most iconic event of the world.
Integrated in the Teams of Flash Entertainment, HQWS, the Fridge and EVE by Expo2020 I've been invited to support over 100 Events, Protocol Ceremonies & Broadcast-shows on several stages and venues on and around the amazing Expo site as the designated ShowCaller or Production Manager on site.
The amazing JalSat nights, the Holy Christmas night connecting Dubai and Bethlehem, countless cultural performances, amazing concerts, Parties and national ceremonies
In 2022 the MOI of the UAE decided to connect the Police Graduation Ceremony of all Emirates into 1 connecting event inside the amazing AlWasl Dome at Expo2020
2500 Police Cadets, all Excellencies of the UAE, amazing ShowActs and incredible technology were brought together for this ones in a lifetime event. Memories Events Dubai trusted on my experience to develop and integrate the technical coordination into the complex structure of the 24/7 performing venue at Expo2020.
"Pomp Duck and Circumstance" by Hans-Peter Wodarz, was the origin of the high quality dinner shows.
Embedded in a meticulously planned show of high-class entertainment, artistic, acrobatic and animation, we served a sensational menu.
During the years together with Cirque du Soleil, I was privileged to help stage this project (and subsequently also the shows of other star chefs), to develop it technically and to have it travel through Europe.
Light attracts people.
My friend and Partner Bernd Spiecker is a german Designer who developed the most iconic light-objects as illuminated furniture in public spaces.
PHAS - "Please have a seat" is creating completely new attraction points by sensual emotions.

In 2006, Fifa gave a small team the chance to place a new form of fan & family festival for the World Cup.
The FIFA FANFEST. We, as implementers on site, were smiled at by cities and tourist authorities until we had to close the venues already 4-6 hours before the 1st game because of absolute overcrowding.
The free family festival "Fan Mile", "Publicviewing" became a world success which I was privileged to supervise after the 2006 World Cup in Germany also in the further development for the 2008 European Championship in Switzerland and the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
Storytelling in the sky.
Drone-shows are providing the most comprehensive, creative, impressing and innovative way of communication.
My friend and Partner Marco Niedermeier (www.ao-technology.com) is one of the worldwide leaders in this business.
Based on over 30y Event business all around the world we are the right contact to turn the Sky into your message.
We create and produce shows from 100 to 4000 or even more drones anywhere in the world.
During the last 12y I've been a part of several Light-Art Festivals.
The idea of creating a new view on your own city, highlighting monuments and hidden places and to let Light-Art shine on public spaces as a light-art exhibition is again, creating identity.
A value for tourists, media, locals and participating partners.
Architecture, objects, games, projections, interactive installations.
Using our network and the worldwide famous team of the "Festival of Lights" from Berlin we would turn your city, any park or even the sea and desert into a light-art-exhibition with global media appearance.
