SCHOOLS TECHNICAL THEATRE INSIGHT WORKSHOPS
Stratford East is offering Technical Theatre Insight Workshops to Newham secondary schools.
The 90-minute sessions are designed to develop GCSE and A-Level Drama students' understanding of lighting, sound and set design. The workshops will expand technical vocabulary and shed light on how backstage elements contribute to the creation of meaning and core themes in a mainstage production.
*We have responded to teacher feedback, making these sessions much more practical and interactive. However, this means that the maximum group size we can accommodate is now 15 students.*
We are pleased to be offering workshops in 2024, with dates announced soon. If you would like to hear about these programmes and more, please email getinvolved@stratfordeast.com.
