OUR OTHER LEARNING SECTIONS:
Acting & tech resources, software & production documents Links to free production software library |
This section is intended to support our actors and crew - as well as anyone else of course - in finding free, high-quality resources for training and developing skills in theatre.
Where we are based (one of the most deprived areas in England), there are no local training resources for those adults who are, or wish to become, professional theatre-makers. To date, we have not been able to secure funding to open training sessions with hired trainers, and we are too short-handed in crew to be able to run workshops ourselves, so, this is the next best option.
This promotes self-directed learning and is a growing collection of free resources for developing skills.
The professional actor needs a range of performance skills, as well as IT skills. We also strongly reccomend that actors learn about the basics of theatre tech and production - it is far easier to work with technical effects or production regulations if you have a basic grounding in what they are.
Conversely we also feel that the modern technician or production crewperson, must understand the basics of the actors craft and how actors work.
Only with a holistic approach can you develop a team where people communicate, support one another, and work to their very best. It does not matter if you have worked in theatre for ten days or ten years - we are all still always learning.
Are you looking for a resource on something not listed here? Please do contact us and ask, we will try to find one.
