Part Of The Grid: Design Workshops

What's a lantern? How can I safely hang a light? What do I need to do to achieve a specific sound effect I have in mind? How can I best convey what I want in terms of audio and visual design to my designers and my technicians? 

Whether you're an actor, director, producer, stage manager, or a jack-of-all-trades 'theatre maker', learning the basics of lighting and sound design and how to properly communicate with your designers will improve the efficiency and success of any performance project. In these 8-hour crash courses presented by Part of the Main, you'll learn the basics of theory, safety, and delivery of lighting and sound design, as well as the jargon used by professional designers. Students will be taught by professional lighting and sound designer Will Alder, whose designs have been seen and heard everywhere from the West End to Theatre503 to the Royal Academy of Ballet, and from Ireland to Saudi Arabia. Students will also receive a custom handbook that they can write in and take home for use in future projects.
