This year we will be offering the first ever Off Stage Academy for British East and South East Asians* (BESEA) who have an interest in learning what it takes to make theatre from behind the scenes.

The New Earth Off Stage Academy is an introductory, six week, online course in technical theatre. Participants will have an opportunity to meet and discover what different roles are available through interactive workshops with leading BESEA design creatives. No previous experience is required and you can come from any discipline or background. We welcome all ages from 18+, based anywhere in the UK.

Classes will take place every Thursday afternoon 3-5pm and will include workshops with BESEA industry professionals in set, lighting, sound and audio visual design.

Course Tutors: Nicola T. Chang (Sound Design), Lulu Tam (Set and Costume Design), Lian Wilkinson (Additional Prop Design and Producing)

New Earth Academy Off Stage is delivered by New Earth Theatre in partnership with: ALRA, ArtsEd, Birmingham Hippodrome, Contact, HOME, Horizons Collective, LAMDA, Manchester International Festival (MIF), Royal Birmingham Conservatorie of Acting, Royal Exchange Theatre, The Lowry and Z-Arts.
