Production Skills Course
The Multiply programme also supports a unique one-week employability course which gives you the chance to learn new creative skills including lighting and sound operation, costume and prop-making and scenic art.
Led by professional creative practitioners, participants will work together on the making of a short theatre production. They’ll build the set, create lighting and sound effects, organise marketing and run the front-of-house operation. The finished production will be presented to an audience on the final day, and participants will be able to access valuable learning opportunities after the course has ended.
The next Production Skills course: To be confirmed
