TV and Technical Theatre Course
“I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being.” - Thornton Wilder
Our TV and Technical Theatre students are lucky enough to learn from highly experienced Theatre Manager and owner of Addsomecolour Productions, Peter Humphreys. Peter is the Theatre Manager for Cranleigh Schools and has worked as the Technical Manager producing shows and events for Tring Park School for the Performing Arts, as well as touring with Encore Dance Company.
This specialised course gives students a glimpse behind the curtains at the theatre, and the basic skills they need to work in this industry. It's perfect for anyone who wants to work in crucial behind-the-scenes roles in theatre, as each day contains practical training on subjects like lighting, design, sound, projection, setup and operation. In fact, you'll be taught the process of putting on a show, and get hands-on experience when you use what you've learned to run the technical side of the live shows at the end of the Academy!
Much of the week will also be working in the technical side of Television and Film. We will train you in editing, camera work and also sound. You will learn the whole process of being on a TV and Film set and extend any existing skills you may have under our experienced technical tutors. This course is suitable for students who want to learn more about being behind the camera.
The TV and Theatre Technical Training course will include the opportunity to join the Friday morning module which will include sessions in small groups on interview technique, How to find a suitable agent, how to take your own perfect headshot.
