We’re offering three types of sessions at Theatrecraft26: Starting Out, Stepping Up and Events For All. Sessions are marked by their relevant colour.
- Starting Out is for individuals who are exploring theatre as a potential career and want to learn more.
- Stepping Up is for those committed to a career in theatre, who are undergoing training or have completed work experience or an internship and are ready to take the next step.
- Events For All are open to everyone, no matter their career stage or experience level.
Costumes from Store to Stage
Workshop Information:
Get hands-on with the costume department! Learn how our many costume teams work together to provide costumes for two world-class companies, bringing new productions to life and reviving classic operas and ballets from the repertory. Learn how a full costume gets from a design to reality from the making workshops, Dye Shop, Hats & Jewellery, Wigs, Hair & Make-up. Learn the different skills the performance teams need to work with the artists, costuming rehearsals and performances with tight turnarounds in a packed schedule. Try your hand at logistics as all our costumes have to go to storage, documented and ready to be revived in a future season.
This session is hosted by the wardrobe team at the Royal Ballet & Opera.
