Come and get a real behind‑the‑scenes look at what it’s like to work backstage on an Emma Rice Company production. You’ll hear directly from our award-winning technical team and get a sense of the skills and teamwork that go into bringing a show to life. Whether you’re curious about show calling, mixing sound, setting props, or touring, this workshop is a great way to find out more.

We’re looking for people at the start of their career. You don’t need experience in mixing or show calling, but you do need some experience backstage. You’ll be over the age of 18, will have had some training or some work backstage (including youth, community, or amateur productions) and you’ll be looking to take your next step into the theatre industry. We want to hear from emerging Stage Managers, Wardrobe, Sound, Lighting and AV Technicians, with an interest in touring. Or maybe you've got experience in film, TV or music production and are interested in expanding your skillset. 

What’s included*:

• A backstage tour of Tristan & Yseult
• Learning to show call a section of the show with the Company Stage Manager on the book.
• Learning to mix a section of the show with the Sound department
• Setting props with the Technical Stage Manager and Assistant Stage Manager

(* Subject to change)

We encourage all participants to attend Tristan & Yseult, either before or after the tech taster, to get the most out of the day.
