What Placements involve
-
Students on technical courses at partner universities can join us for a six-day intensive placement in the autumn term where they support GCSE Drama students on our Careers in Theatre programme. Working as part of professional team of 20 creatives, you will work with young people to create a play in a day, working on one of the five disciplines (acting, lighting, sound, design, stage management)
Students interested in summer placements can work with us on our Next Steps programme to provide pastoral support to the young people while they are with us for a week-long summer school.

Join us for a full term’s placement where you will work on a variety of our programmes, supporting our facilitator teams to deliver Youth Theatres for different ages, Creative Play sessions for under 5s and After School Drama groups.
