Training

Interested in working in the theatre industry? Step behind the scenes and learn how it’s done from an award winning youth theatre at our tech training sessions!

Whether you want to become a master in the art of sound, or be the person shining a light on the action, we can help you develop the skills you need to make your dreams a reality.

You’ll be getting hands on time with pro level equipment and guidance from experienced professionals in both fields – with plenty of opportunities to ask your burning questions and benefit from expert advice!

You’ll learn how to design perfectly dramatic lighting states, discover the different ways lights can shape the story, emotions and mood of a show, all while getting to grips with equipment.

You can try your hand at performance sound design, while learning how to set up and mix live audio and gaining a deeper understanding of the enhancements good sound can make for mood, drama, and storytelling.

Sessions are absolutely free for 14-25 year olds to attend. Follow us on Facebook for updates on our next sessions.
