Course Description:
This
programme provides a broad and thorough training in stage management
in preparation for a career in the theatre and related entertainment
industries.
It is structured to maximise the
opportunities students will have to work on live productions, placing
this at the centre of their training in the practical context of a
busy theatre and recital venue Students will work on productions
alongside actors, designers and directors in an environment that
reflects the practices and conditions of contemporary professional
theatre. Students can expect to work on the full range of college
events from in-house plays to touring productions, opera, musical
theatre, orchestral concerts and outdoor events.
We maintain close links with
individuals and organisations within the industry and students will
regularly work in collaboration with professional production
supervisors and technical specialists. Work placements with
professional companies are also an important feature of the training,
offering opportunities to gain experience and make valuable contacts
within the destination industries.
Whilst the taught modules are
compulsory, the production placements will be tailored to meet your
particular training needs and career goals. The full-time element of
the course runs from February until September and is in four parts.
The Third and fourth parts of the course are structured to maximise
external work placements and it is possible to have professional work
accredited to the course.
After completion of these four elements
the student is awarded a Post Graduate Diploma. At that point, they
may begin employment and, as they work, compile a journal of their
working practice. Once complete, the journal may be submitted for the
award of Masters of Arts.
