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.
TOUR: Costume – From Wigs to Waistcoats
Tour Information:
You will tour the three main workrooms of ROH that make and revive their costume stock for Ballet and Opera, and see the many other different workshops that all contribute to building the characters that appear on the stage- wigs, hats, jewellery, shoes and the dye shop- as well as buying and logistics, which are key to the whole operation. Learn about the different career pathways you could take in a costume department and the skills needed to do them.
This session is hosted by the wardrobebe team at the Royal Ballet & Opera.
