about OG art & productions
"bringing unique projects to life"
Coming in 2022
Founded in 2020 OG Art & Productions is a mix of fashion retailer and story teller show makers, committed to engage and move audiences.
A company that inspires and fulfils the audience curiosity.
We craft quality dance fashion and produce quality shows that leave a lasting impression. With the theatre productions whether we are producing our own shows or helping others to bring their dream gala to the stage, our services will be committed to creating remunerative spectacles. Our fashion brand will solely focus on our styles, which are exclusively designed by Osiel Gouneo, with colours and fits to flatter the dancers of today and their needs of fitting their figure and their style. OG Art & Productions current business model is seeking to engage with a variety of audiences beyond classical ballet. Our own research has led us to the conclusion of a need for a new type of show that goes past the usual ballet gala format.
Our variety of shows will meet an extensive market profile, and it is placed under a model seeking a more entrepreneurial representation of showbiz.
Our programmes will fill the gap in the global dance ecology with a trailblazing quality programming that will support emerging dancers, choreographers and artists in general from diverse backgrounds and art forms, alongside showcasing world-renowned artists.
