Details

The audience settles in their seats and begins to quieten. On cues from the stage manager, the house lights fade and the orchestra begin to play. The curtain rises and hundreds of lights illuminate the stage. Behind the scenes, twenty members of the production team work to ensure that all sound, lighting, multimedia, staging, props and costume elements enhance the performance perfectly.
Weeks of rehearsal have gone into preparing this event. Sets have been designed and built, costumes made and repaired, props sourced and painted, lights rigged and plotted, radio microphones tuned and fitted. As the show ends, the performers take their final bow, the house curtain falls for the final time and the audience leaves. The activity switches to the trucks behind the theatre for the move to the next venue in the next city.
With the global arts and entertainment industry expanding rapidly, expertise in all elements of live production is highly sought after across all types of live performance. This course provides you with fundamental skills in stage management, lighting, sound, multimedia production, costume, props, stage mechanics, scenery installation and theatre design. You’ll also have the opportunity to specialise in a particular area of live production and access to industry-based learning and placements.
