Alison first worked with Hamilton Ice Sculptors in 2008 when she co-produced the world premiere of In Expectation of the Thaw in Scandinavia’s largest indoor venue in Finland. In 2009, she worked again with the multi-media film, music and ice show at the Royal Albert Hall as part of the 25th anniversary celebrations of HRH Prince Charles’s patronage of Business in the Community (BITC).
For many seasons she headed up the production coordination of Magical Ice Kingdom in London’s Winter Wonderland, before working alongside Hamilton Ice Sculptors to establish The Ice Cavern in Edinburgh and The Ice Village in Manchester.
She worked on several art projects with Hamilton’s founder, Duncan Hamilton, including the Ice Bear Project with Mark Coreth in London’s Trafalgar Square, which later travelled to Copenhagen and Canada; and most recently, a series of celebrated exhibitions in collaboration with photographer, Peer Lindgreen, under the name of Shock of the Form.
“Alison is an excellent project manager and marketing expert. She takes a brief and then develops it with detailed background work and an outstanding ability to communicate her ideas to clients and colleagues.”
