Experience Opportunity

LAMDA x Lyric Future Technicians

Live in West London and interested in backstage and technical roles for screen and stage?

The Lyric Hammersmith Theatre and the London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art (LAMDA) are looking for young people aged 16-21 who live in West London to take part in Future Technicians, a free two week technical theatre course! This course is designed to provide hands-on experience in both screen and stage technical production. Our cohort will gain insight into film and theatre production, working with industry professionals to create high-quality content and live performances.

We are particularly interested in hearing from young people from the global majority, young people who are D/deaf and disabled, young people from low-income households (measured by access to Free School Meals in the last 6 years) and young people in care / care leavers as we recognise these groups are currently underrepresented in the technical theatre industries
