Drama and Theatre Magazine Autumn 1- 2016/17 Vorige editie

Backstage special: TD peeks behind the curtain for a look at vocational careers for students who might not want to tread the boards themselves – from musical directing, technical design, hair and make-up, to producing, directing and operation. Aspiring young producers take the helm on the Almeida Theatre’s creative board; we visit leading make-up school the Iver Academy; and the art behind a good technician. Plus, using the power of story-telling to unite divided communities; our green room panel consider whether it is still reasonable to encourage careers in theatre without access to the EU’s €1.46bn Creative Europe fund; the Lyric’s new £20m development; and how the Verbatim Project is giving students a voice.
