“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 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!
WHEN AND WHERE?
The Technical Theatre Course takes place in Cranleigh Arts Centre, around 20
minutes from Guildford. The venue has a professional theatre, a sprung dance
floor for choreography sessions, dressing rooms, and lots of great areas for
filming and multimedia activities, so it's the perfect spot for our aspiring
performers to learn in.
