Come learn about Set!

Ever wondered how you go from a wacky idea to a fully-fledged set? This workshop with Jak (Assistant stage manger, Oxford Playhouse) will talk about how to do just that. In addition to going through the process of set design from start to finish, we’ll also talk about some practical considerations when it comes to construction, and how to get into set design as a beginner. This is a perfect opportunity for anyone just starting out in crew to learn more, and may also be of interest to directors wishing to learn more about the set design process.

There will be snacks provided, so please let us know if you have any allergies or dietary requirements!
