Applications for Young Technicians are now open! 

We’re excited to announce our Young Technicians Course is returning in January 2025.   

This free introductory training programme offers 18 to 25-year-olds the opportunity to develop practical skills in lighting, sound and stagecraft with industry professionals. No experience necessary. 

Participants on this programme will be paid a training bursary when working on specific shows.  

We prioritise applications from young people in Newham and the surrounding East London boroughs*, and those that are currently underrepresented in the industry.

This course aims to address the imbalance and under-representation of backstage professionals from the Global Majority; lower socio-economic backgrounds; those who are care experienced; those who identify as female, non-binary, transgender; those who are deaf or disabled; and those from areas of low arts engagement.
