LAMDA x Lyric Future Technicians

Live in West London and interested in backstage and technical roles in Theatre?

The Lyric Hammersmith Theatre and the London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art (LAMDA) are looking for young people aged 14-19 who live in West London to take part in Future Technicians, a free eight-week technical theatre course!

You will receive:

  • Free practical sessions led by industry professionals, exploring Lighting, Sound, Stage Management, and Staging/Rigging.
  • Tours and in depth insights into the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre and LAMDA
  • Free resources to support your creative and skill development during and post programme
  • Post programme pathways into training, volunteering and employment opportunities
  • A free group trip to see Play On! At the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre!

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.

In order to apply, you must fulfil all the following criteria:

  • Be aged 14-19
  • Must be able to travel to either the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre (W6 0QL) or LAMDA (W14 9DA) for a session
  • Live anywhere in West London
    • Applications will be prioritised for those who currently live in one of the following boroughs- Brent, Ealing, Hammersmith and Fulham, Harrow, Hillingdon, Hounslow, Kensington and Chelsea, Richmond Upon Thames, Wandsworth and Westminster
  • Be able to commit to attending and completing the entire ten-week programme:
    • Monday 3rd February 5.30pm to 7pm, pizza dinner and then watching Play On! at the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre 7.30pm to 10pm
    • Monday 10th February 5.30pm to 7.30pm
