Women in Tech Course Comes to Brighton
A unique opportunity for women and non-binary individuals to gain practical skills in technical theatre, this three-day course offers a pathway into the industry. With hands-on training and exploration of career opportunities, it's an initiative that challenges inequality and improves access.
The fact that a three-day course can provide a gateway to entry-level roles as apprentices or casual technicians in theatre is a compelling one, especially for an industry that has historically been male-dominated. The Women in Tech Course, taking place from Friday, 13 November 2026 to Sunday, 15 November 2026 at the Theatre Royal Brighton in Brighton, is a significant step towards challenging inequality and improving access.
Over the course of the weekend, participants will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a range of technical skills, including stage management, hemp flying, knots, lighting, and sound set up and operation. This practical training will be complemented by an exploration of the pathways into working in the industry, providing a comprehensive understanding of the career opportunities available.
The course is designed for cis and trans women and non-binary individuals aged 18 and above, with some prior amateur or professional experience in theatre. For those interested in pursuing a career in technical theatre, this initiative offers a unique chance to develop their skills and knowledge.
