Creative Education: Technical Theatre (8-12)

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.

Join us for an exciting workshop designed for creative 8–12-year-olds, where you'll explore how lighting and sound can bring stories to life on stage. Through hands-on activities and engaging discussions, you'll learn how technical theatre elements help enhance storytelling, create immersive worlds and add that touch of magic to performances.

We'll focus on understanding the effects of light and sound—how they set the mood, highlight characters, and transform a simple space into a fantastical environment. There will be plenty of opportunities to see how lighting works in practice, helping you understand how these techniques support storytelling.

While planning and creativity are key, this workshop is all about exploring and experimenting with the tools that make theatre magical. Whether you're a budding theatre enthusiast or just curious about behind-the-scenes magic, this is your chance to bring your own stories to life through light and sound!
