The Dock presents the ‘Women in Technical Theatre’ workshop, in collaboration with The Lir Academy and The Abbey Theatre, which aims to introduce young women to lighting, sound and stage management careers.
As part of a nationwide project, this opportunity invites young women to investigate whether a career in the technical side of theatre will interest them.
The roadshow aims to engage female pupils aged 14-16 years from secondary-level schools throughout Ireland by presenting and facilitating workshops geared towards increasing awareness of technical theatre, stage management and the importance that these departments play in the professional creation of a live performance.
The workshop takes place at The Dock on Wednesday, November 22, and has been designed and overseen by industry professionals who lead technical departments at The Lir Academy.
An Abbey Theatre drama facilitator will lead the performance aspect of the workshop with experience working with young people.
The project is supported by Bank of America, the Access and Learning Partner of the Abbey Theatre.
The workshop is free, but there are limited places, and bookings are advisable.
For more information, please contact Laura Mahon, the Visual Arts and Education Manager at The Dock, at lmahon@leitrimcoco.ie or call The Dock for more information at 071 96 50 828.
