Creative Education: Technical Theatre (13-18)

Our creative education programme aims to ensure that all children have access to high-quality creative experiences. We promise smaller group sizes, and challenging, engaging sessions lead by professionals in their industry.

Dive deeper into the art of theatre technology with this engaging workshop for ages 13–18. Focused on in-depth problem solving and creative exploration, you'll learn how to craft detailed stage effects that capture emotion, tell compelling stories, and frame key moments or spaces.

Explore how lighting and sound can be layered to create nuanced, immersive environments that support storytelling on a whole new level. Through hands-on activities and collaborative projects, you'll experiment with technology and techniques used by professional designers, gaining insight into how to bring your artistic vision to life—much like a director shaping the entire stage picture.

This workshop encourages critical thinking, innovation, and artistic expression, giving you the tools to craft impactful performances and develop your skills in technical theatre. Whether you're interested in design, directing, or simply want to deepen your understanding of stagecraft, this is your chance to explore the possibilities and elevate your creative practice.
