Ever wondered how lighting brings a stage to life? 

Presented as part of our Careers through the Arts programme in partnership with Watermill Theatre and funded by Greenham Trust. Join us from scratch to learn the core fundamentals of theatrical lighting, get hands-on with professional gear, and design your very own lighting states! Plus, participants will get a unique look behind the scenes, with potential opportunities to apply your new skills to a live production right here in our main auditorium.

What to bring:

Please wear comfortable clothing that you can move around in and bring a water bottle.

What to expect:

Young Creatives are fun, interactive sessions that allow you to explore building new skills, learning about different creative careers through practical exercises.

Benefits:

Not only will you get to have fun in the sessions, you will also get the opportunity to meet like-minded young people and form new friendships. You will also get to develop new and current transferrable skills, that you can use in everyday life.
