We are excited to announce our Young Technicians Course is returning to Stratford East this autumn. The course will be facilitated by the brilliant Constance Oak, and run in partnership with RADA and Backstage Niche.
The FREE 12-week introductory training course offers 16–21 year olds the opportunity to develop practical skills in stage management, lighting and sound with industry professionals. No experience necessary.
We prioritise applications from young people in Newham and the surrounding East London boroughs, and those that are currently underrepresented in the industry.
The course aims to address the imbalance and under-representation of backstage professionals from the Global Majority; lower socio-economic backgrounds; those who are care experienced; those who identify as female, non-binary, transgender; those who are deaf or disabled; and those from areas of low arts engagement.
We believe it’s crucial to create opportunities for young people to engage with artists who culturally and socially represent them.
