Showtime Entertainment Production - one of the world leaders in the creation of show programs with stunt tricks.

The four-year-old boy Severin is very different from his peers.

He rides a two-stroke motocycle and has more driving experience than his mom.

He has been driving a car since he was two, at three and a half he learned to make 90 in his small car.

Together with the stunt parents, the child loves to invent and implement different tricks in reality.

We will follow the development of this youngest member of our team.

Четырехлетний мальчик Северин сильно отличается от сверстников. Он ездит на двухтактном мотоцикле и имеет больше опыта вождения, чем его мама. Северин водит машину с двух лет, в три с половиной года он научился делать 90 на своей маленькой машине. Вместе с его родителями каскадерами ребенок любит придумывать и воплощать в жизнь разные трюки.

Мы будем следить за развитием этого самого молодого члена нашей команды.

Interview with Mariia Kushch

Mariya Kushch - Stunt Show Driver in Hainan!

Dates: July, 2019
Location: Haikou

Hainan, China's tropical island province in the South China Sea, is getting more and more international all the time, and many people from around the world have come to Hainan to live and work. Today Explore Hainan is introducing Mariya Kushch, a stunt driver from Ukraine – now starring in the Thunder Chase Live Action Stunt Show here in Hainan!

It’s a rare profession for a woman, but since her husband Alexander Kushch was the creator of the Ukrainian stunt team AKstunt, she had no choice but to live up to him!

The two lovebirds started their career together with tricks on horses.

They worked in several movies and TV shows, and Mariya specialized in sword fights and working with fire!

Mariya and Alexander were soon in demand around the world, and they traveled to China, where they began working at a water show in Tianjin. Mariya recalls that show with affection, calling it an “unforgettable experience”, complete with jet skis, stage fights, explosions, and fire.

In the Tianjin show, Mariya played a pirate, who captured the aircraft carrier her husband Alexander was captaining.

Mariya is always working to improve herself, and her stunt skills, and soon picked up an impressive new ability – stunt driving! She absolutely loves doing tricks in her mint BMW.

While Tianjin was fun, Mariya dreamed of living on a tropical island, working with friends, and doing a spectacular show. She believes that is you really want something, it will come true, and sure enough, now she is living her dream here in tropical Hainan! “What a wonderful Island! The Changying Wonderland Park, where we work, is an international park, where cultures of different peoples of the world merge. Of course, everyone who comes to Hainan should visit it! It’s beautiful!

Changying Wonderland Park, by day & by night

More about the Thunder Chase show that Mariya drives in at the Changying Wonderland Park in a moment, but first let’s find out what Hainan recommendations Mariya has for visitors to this beautiful tropical Chinese island in the South China Sea.

Mariya definitely recommends a visit to the Hainan Tropical Wildlife Park and Botanical Garden, which she loves.

“Lions, elephants, giraffes. Super! My son asks to go the the Safari Park every weekend.” Now the park also has adorable pandas, so there’s even more to see!

She is a fan of historical sites and buildings, and one of her favorite places to go in Haikou is the Tomb of Hai Rui.

As for getting out of the city, her favorite place to go is Bo’ao, which she says is “clean and beautiful. This is definitely one of the best places for a family holiday.”

She and her son especially love going to the water park there!

She also loves mountains and the sea, and says that someday she will definitely live in a place with both mountains and ocean!

Ok, now back to the stunt show Mariya drives in, located in Hainan’s capital city of Haikou!

Mariya loves working with the S.E.P. team on the infinitely cool Thunder Chase show, which has it all: stunt cars, two wheelers, bike stunts, FMX jumps, explosions, fire, fighting, and more! Mariya says that it is her “great honor to be a part” of the project!

She and her husband Alex are again on different sides of the law in the roles they play in the show, but this time she’s on the side of the truth, and gets to arrest him!

They look like they are having a fantastic time as they burn rubber around the arena, as do the rest of the entire highly skilled stunt crew as they do flips, fight on top of moving vehicles, and execute breathtaking falls off of buildings!

The Thunder Chase Arena

Let’s take a look at some of the nonstop action at the Thunder Chase show:

Wow! What a thrill! The 30 minute stunt show is currently performed twice daily, at 3 PM and 6:10 PM, so be sure to head over to Changying Wonderland and see it for yourself!

While you are there, you’ll also have the chance to enjoy many other park attractions, including a roller coaster, street performances, a water flume ride, a giant “ancient” Chinese sailing ship, a 4D Dream Maker show, and more, all of which the kids will be sure to love.

Festival of horse-stunt riders "Centaurs"

11.10.2018

In the most popular Ukrainian show park "Kievskaya Rus" was held the annual international festival of horse-stunt riders "Centaurs". This festival is famous all over the world. This year more than 10 teams from different countries of the world were represented at it. Stunt director Alexander Kusch, was represented on the jury of this festival, as he has extensive experience working with horses, and even participated in the festival “Centaurs” at the dawn of its discovery.

В самом популярном украинском шоу парке "Киевская Русь" прошел ежегодный международный фестиваль конно-трюкового искусства "Кентавры". Этот фестиваль известен во всем мире. В этом году на нем было представлено более 10 команд из разных стран мира. Постановщик трюков Александр Кущ, был представлен в составе жюри сего фестиваля, так как он имеет большой опыт работы с лошадьми, и даже сам принимал участие в фестивале "Кентавры" на заре его открытия.

TV-show "Пацанки"

10.09.2018

Aleksandr Kusch, the chief director of AKstunt, was invited to the popular television show “Patsanki”. The director was not given an easy task: to prepare the show participants for the high-altitude fall. Girls and guys who had no experience as stuntmen, should have been in the shortest possible time, within a few hours of live broadcast, jump from a height of 4 meters into an inflatable pillow. This trick for an unprepared person can be very dangerous. As with the improper grouping of the body, a fall can lead to injuries. But with the support of experienced stuntmen - the participants coped with this task.

Постановщик трюков Команды Каскадеров Украины AKstunt Александр Кущ, был приглашен на популярное телевизионное шоу "Пацанки". Перед постановщиком была поставлена не простая задача: подготовить к высотному падению участников шоу. Девушки и парни, не имевшие опыта работы в качестве каскадеров, должны были в кратчайшие сроки, в течении нескольких часов прямой трансляции, прыгнуть с высоты 4 метра в надувную подушку. Данный трюк для не подготовленного человека может быть весьма опасным. Так как при неправильной группировке тела, падение может привести к травмам. Но при поддержке опытных каскадеров - участницы справились с заданием.

Stunt is a profession not for sensitive people. Being a stunt means to be strong, brave and hardworking. But the most important thing is to cultivate the desire of taking risks.

The «AKstunt» stunt team appeared not long ago (it exists since 2013) but it is already well-known among the professional circles in the sphere of cinematography and show-business

We've been lucky to interview the founder and the chief-stunt of the "AKstunt" team, Alexander Kusch. Alexander, please, tell us a bit about your profession. What does it mean to be a stunt?

- A Stunt is a person that makes the impossible things possible. Also, the success of a stunt is first of all the result of daily hard work and, secondly, of course, a bit of luck

How did you come to the profession?

- Not me, it came to me. Since I was a kid, I was lucky in extreme situations. When I was 4, I took a ride on the "dwarf" bicycle from the stairwell. A few stitches and a split lip. But I remember about it with a smile. I think this is the key in understanding the concept of being a stunt.

What exactly do you do?

- I've managed to create a team from a variety of people. We have auto-acrobats, stunts that work with horses and fights-staging professionals. The most important thing is that all those people are real professionals, they know their job and totally commit themselves to it.

What is your team doing now?

- We are developing new, unique tricks. Create the performance and film it. Unfortunately, things are complicated with the film-industry in our country nowadays, but we remain dedicated and work on the future progress. It is really important to see the positive sides of everything, that's why we treat it as the productive pause between the filming and use it to gain experience.

You have a good position in life.

- For sure! If you are seriously engaged in such work you will definitely come to the right life orienteers. Sooner or later you will ask yourself a question: "Why are you able to do some things and not others? Who helps you?". God - is the only answer to many earthly matters.

Very interesting. And what prospects do you see for the "AKstunt" stunt-team?

- I would like to work abroad in future. Our team aims at gaining experience of working in Hollywood. Since they have a completely different level, everything is of a greater scale, we could learn a lot.

Thank you Alexander for such a nice and informative conversation. We will keep in touch with you. Who knows, perhaps very soon our citizens will become the best stuntmen in the world!
