TURKS
AND CAICOS DESTINATION EVENT

Taking FOCUS3D Beyond the Mainland

In April 2026, New Sense brought FOCUS3D to The Ritz-Carlton, Turks & Caicos for a destination corporate event on Grace Bay. 

The client had seen New Sense perform before and knew the kind of experience they wanted. Recreating it on an island, however, required a different production process. Performers, equipment, documentation and local technical support all had to be coordinated before the show could reach the venue. 

On April 18, those months of planning came together in one immersive performance—delivered in a new country without compromising the experience that first caught the client’s attention.

Featured Experience

A Performance They Wanted to Experience Again

The project began when the client contacted New Sense through DJandDrummer.com after seeing one of the company’s performances at an earlier event. 

The inquiry covered two dates: a destination event in Turks and Caicos and a second event planned for later in the year in Ohio. Jon scheduled a discovery call to learn more about the audience, the event plans and the kind of entertainment the client had in mind.

New Sense presented FOCUS3D and Side Project as possible directions, supported by photographs and examples from previous productions. Both concepts offered live energy, but FOCUS3D provided the immersive visual component the client wanted for the Turks and Caicos setting. 

By the end of January, the client had selected FOCUS3D. The contract was completed soon afterward, giving the team less than three months to prepare the show for an international destination.

The Show Could Travel. 
The Usual Setup Could Not.

FOCUS3D brings a live DJ and drummer together with a custom scenic structure and mapped visual content. The performance depends on those elements working in precise relationship with the audio, lighting and video systems supporting them. 

At a familiar venue, many of those production variables can be controlled directly. Turks and Caicos introduced a new set of considerations. The team had to determine how equipment would reach the island, what could be supported by the local AV provider and which documents would be required for the traveling performers and production materials.

Shipping and travel plans also had to be developed around an island destination. A missed connection, delayed case or unavailable technical component could affect more than the setup schedule—it could change the performance itself. 

New Sense therefore approached the project as both a show and a logistics plan. Every creative decision had to be matched by a practical answer for how it would arrive, be installed and operate at The Ritz-Carlton.

Building the Show
Across Three Teams

Preparing FOCUS3D for Turks and Caicos required close communication between New Sense, the client’s event planner and the teams already working on the island. 

New Sense worked with the local AV company to review the performance’s technical requirements and determine how the available systems would support the show. At the same time, the team coordinated with The Ritz-Carlton on venue access, production needs and the practical details of working inside the resort. 

International transportation developed alongside those conversations. Shipping windows were researched, equipment options were evaluated and performer travel was adjusted as plans evolved. Permits and supporting documentation also had to be addressed before the team could work on the island. 

The process was not a single handoff from one vendor to another. It was an ongoing exchange of technical information, schedule changes and production decisions leading up to April 18.

Our Scope

FOCUS3D Immersive Performance

FOCUS3D combined a live DJ-and-drummer performance with a custom scenic surface animated through mapped visual content. The show served as the featured entertainment experience and required the performers, visuals and technical systems to operate as one production.

International Production Planning 

New Sense translated the established requirements of FOCUS3D into a plan suited to an international resort. Each part of the show was reviewed according to how it would travel, how it would be supported locally and what needed to happen before the team reached the venue.

Equipment and
Travel Logistics

The team researched international shipping timelines, planned equipment transportation and coordinated travel for the performers and production personnel. These plans continued to be adjusted as the event developed, keeping the show aligned with the available time and destination requirements.

Local AV
Coordination

New Sense worked directly with the local AV provider to communicate the technical needs of FOCUS3D and review the equipment available on the island. This coordination helped connect the traveling elements of the performance with the systems that would be supplied at the venue.

Venue Coordination 

The Ritz-Carlton team was included in planning around access, scheduling and technical requirements. Working with the venue in advance reduced uncertainty and gave each production partner a clearer understanding of what would be needed on site.

Permits and Documentation

Producing the event internationally required preparation beyond the technical rider. New Sense coordinated the permits and documentation connected to the traveling team and performance, making those requirements part of the production schedule rather than leaving them until arrival.

Turning the Plan Into a Performance

Once the project reached Turks and Caicos, the months of remote coordination became an on-site production. 

New Sense worked alongside the local AV team and The Ritz-Carlton to bring the technical plan into the event space. The traveling performance elements had to connect with the systems prepared locally, while the scenic surface, mapped content, audio and lighting all had to function as parts of the same show.

This was the point at which the advance work mattered most. Technical expectations had already been shared, responsibilities had been discussed and the teams arrived with a common understanding of the performance. 

The setting may have been new, but FOCUS3D still needed to look, sound and move the way the show was designed to. The objective was not to create a reduced destination version. It was to deliver the complete experience in a place where New Sense could not rely on its usual production environment.

The Destination Changed. 
The Standard Did Not.

FOCUS3D was successfully delivered on April 18, 2026, at The Ritz-Carlton, Turks & Caicos.
‍
For the audience, the result was one immersive performance. Behind it was a production
process connecting a U.S.-based entertainment team, an international resort, a local AV provider and a
client planner over several months. 
‍
The project demonstrated New Sense’s ability to take an established experience beyond its usual
environment and rebuild the production process around a destination. It required more than
transporting performers and equipment. It required each partner to understand how their part
affected the show as a whole. 

The setting changed the logistics, the schedule and the way the production had to be assembled. It
did not change what the client expected to see when FOCUS3D began.

“The audience saw one performance. Behind it were months of decisions about people, equipment, travel and how every piece would meet on the island.”
