Basic Stage

This session will cover the basics of stage and stagecraft introducing you to the tools we have available to us in the Annex.

Interested in working behind the scenes to make stage magic happen? This basic stage training session will focus on the essentials of deck work, including how to handle and raise flats, operate power tools safely, and set up the stage for productions.

You’ll get hands-on experience with the equipment used in The Annex and learn the key skills needed to work backstage, including building and moving set pieces, safely using drills and other power tools, and understanding how to ensure everything runs smoothly during a show.

Whether you’re completely new or have some experience, this session will be a great way to build your skills and confidence. Check out the discord for more about your stage mentor this year, Dan, and feel free to send any questions to training@stagesoc.org.uk!

There are two identical sessions, so if you can’t make one, hopefully, you can attend the other!
