Introduction to Technical Theatre

A successful stage production is not merely what the performers do on stage. What happens out of the audience’s view and how all the different parts come together seamlessly is just as important. Making this happen is no easy task and the production team has the responsibility for this.

This workshop is aimed at helping technicians upgrade their skills and for students of theatre to gain a deeper insight into technical theatre. It provides them with the basics needed to work in professional theatre, an overview of technical theatre, including a common knowledge platform and language from which to operate.
