The Emma Rice Company is one of the UK’s leading ensemble theatre companies, and their production and backstage teams are a vital, professional and playful part of the family. Their Training Programme runs workshops and courses to inspire the next generation of theatre makers.Come and get a real behind‑the‑scenes look at what it’s like to work backstage on an Emma Rice Company production. You’ll hear directly from their award‑winning technical team and get a sense of the skills and teamwork that go into bringing a show to life. Whether you’re curious about show calling, mixing sound, setting props, or touring, this workshop is a great way to find out more.
What’s included (subject to change):
A backstage tour of Malory Towers
Learning to show call a section of the show with the Deputy Stage Manager
Learning to mix a section of the show with the Sound department
Setting props with the Assistant Stage Manager and Stage Manager
They’re looking for people at the start of their career. You don’t need experience in mixing or show calling, but you do need some experience backstage. You’ll be over the age of 18, will have had some training or some work backstage (including youth, community, or amateur productions) and you’ll be looking to take your next step into the theatre industry. They want to hear from emerging Stage Managers, Wardrobe, Sound, Lighting and AV Technicians, with an interest in touring. Or maybe you have experience in film, TV or music production and are interested in expanding your skillset.
We encourage all participants to attend Malory Towers, either before or after the tech taster, to get the most out of the day.
