Emerging Technicians

During my time working with various youth and community theatre groups, I have worked with young people/adults to support their development of technical theatre skills. This includes creating games and exercises to enable technical (lighting and sound) exploration, teaching new technical skills (for example QLab use) or assisting in partnering with actors to help them understand how to run/tech their own show.​
