IVALDI provides pro wrestling production and performance services to all types of stage and screen projects.

From casting wrestlers, training actors and choreographing action, to ring hire, costume design and touring, we handle the wrestling-specific requirements of your production.

build, hire and tour

We build, hire, store and tour all shapes and sizes of wrestling rings, crash mats and equipment, complete with a crew to set up and take down for you with zero hassle.

All our equipment and materials are professionally made by wrestling-specific manufacturers and comply with BS5867 safety standards required by theatres.

casting and training

If you need a wrestler who can act or sing for your project, look no further! We draw on a vast pool of talent to find someone with the right look and perfect mix of skills for your project.

We also specialise in training actors, singers, dancers and musicians to wrestle safely for on stage and screen. For example: Stephen Graham, Frank Turner, Julian Sands, Dave Johns, Jill Halfpenny, Stephen Marcus, Neil Fitzmaurice, Michael Socha, Robbie Gee and Adam Fogerty.

costume

Nothing destroys traditional costume faster than wrestling, yet wrestling costumes never look right on stage and screen. That’s why we make our own.

We make costume specifically designed to withstand the vigours of wrestling and touring, while complementing the shapes and sizes of your cast, and the style, theme and quality of your production. No more ripped crotches or accidental slips…

choreography

Wrestling choreography is very specific and, in many ways, nothing like stunts or stage combat. Done correctly, it is one of the most beautiful, emotive and entertaining forms of physical theatre. Done incorrectly, it is potentially lethal.

Any production involving wrestling must be performed and choreographed by a trained and experienced wrestler. We have a wealth of experience in choreographing wrestling for theatre, motion capture, TV and film - just get in touch and let us know what you’re looking for.
