Backstage Madness!

Semester 2 2010 Workshops

Lighting, sound and stage management. Are you fascinated with Theatre but not so keen to be in the spotlight? Limited backstage places still available to be involved in our major production RETRIEVAL.
Back Stage Madness is a practical workshop exploring what makes a production actually tick. Through an exploration of Lighting, Sound and Stage Management, participants will learn how to run a theatrical production, design, rig and focus lights, set-up and run sound equipment, create digital sound scapes and stage management – creating the prompt book and calling the cues for a show.

 Participants will learn these skills and apply them to the Major CYT Production – RETRIEVAL. You will become a member of the Backstage Team and run the show at the National Library of Australia in November
