Backstage Schools

Our holiday workshops for children and young people focus on the skills you need to work offstage in a theatre – that’s prop making, set design, theatrical make-up, sound and light, and technical skills.

There are introductory workshops for younger years (5-11), hands on workshops for young people exploring career options (11-16), and masterclasses for young adults (16-25) wanting to build their skills and experience.

  • All sessions for ages 5-11 will be held 10am-12pm at the SJT here in Scarborough
  • Places are limited – early booking is advised
  • All materials will be provided
  • £10 per workshop (£7.50 concession available for people experiencing financial difficulty)

Exciting workshops in backstage skills for ages 5-11, 11-16 and 16-25.

Tuesday 28 May – Stage Combat: We punch people in the face at the SJT all the time, but don’t worry, no-one gets hurt! If you want to learn some of the principles and skills to safely perform unarmed stage combat, then this workshop is for you.

Thursday 30 May – Puppet Making: We’ll start simple with a sock and some buttons…then we’ll introduce you to a range of performance, design and construction techniques, plus the chance to try out some of the incredible puppets we have here at the SJT.
