James Seager
After 20 years as Creative Director of Les Enfants Terribles, James joins forces with renowned producers Gavin Kalin and Hunter Arnold to combine their knowledge and present Labyrinth, the new home of immersive experiences. Having previously co-directed Alice’s Adventures Underground in 2015, when it was nominated for an Olivier Award, and subsequently for its 2017 run in London, watching the show evolve to this point has been an unforgettable journey.
Within his role at Les Enfants Terribles, James oversees the day to day running of the company to shape the strategic vision and continue to produce exciting theatre that pushes creative boundaries. His previous accolades have included the company’s critically acclaimed productions The Trench (UK tour), The Terrible Infants (UK Tour, Wilton’s Music Hall) and most recently, The House with Chicken Legs in co-production with HOME, Manchester.
James’ experience in creating high-impact immersive events traverses theatre and includes large scale brand activations on behalf of Les Enfants Terribles, working with brands such as Canon, The National Trust, IKEA and most recently ESCH22 European Capital of Culture where the reaction to the event was “out of this world” with a congratulatory message direct from the International Space Station and a gold medal for hybrid events at the Golden Award of Montreux.
