Course Description:
The course was originally founded in 1965 by LAMDA and the Theatre Projects Trust Ltd. It begins in the Autumn of each year and is of six terms’ duration. The course provides a broad training in all aspects of stage management and technical theatre. Core training follows student development through from basic lectures to production work.
The production work primarily takes place in the MacOwan Theatre. Working with
practising directors and designers ensures that students have the opportunity to work in a professional environment and meet people who are currently active within the business.
All students will have at least one work placement with a professional theatre, production company or equivalent.
The MacOwan Theatre is well equipped and provides the flexibility of proscenium arch, theatre-in-the-round or thrust stage formats. In addition, the Academy has its own wardrobe, property and carpentry workshops and sound studios, and a second performance space, the LAMDA Linbury Studio.
Eligible Students on this course from the UK and EU can apply for Higher Education funding.
The University of Kent at Canterbury is the qualification awarding body for the Higher Education programme. Students who successfully complete the course receive a Diploma in Higher Education in Stage Management & Technical Theatre.
Year One students develop core skills in Stage Management, Lighting, Sound, Staging and Carpentry through class work, and then work on public performances - theatre skills are therefore developed through practical "hands-on" learning. Students are assessed primarily on practical work undertaken. An understanding of Health and Safety is an essential part of the technical training.
Year Two students work in ‘Head of Department’ roles on public shows, broadening their knowledge and gaining experience in teamwork and leadership.
