Theatre Work Experience In Northamptonshire
Recently C&D Productions was featured in an article on the On Stage Northants website, a new theatre focused site bringing all aspects of theatre in the county together in one place. The new Northants theatre platform brings together various aspects of theatre locally, from show reviews and audition announcements, through to opinion pieces and topic articles.
This week saw an article focused on work experience within the local theatre industry. Discussed were themes such as the difficulty of work experience placements themselves, along with other thoughts on types of theatre work experience available in Northamptonshire and how the differing theatrical disciplines fair in terms of accessability.
One highlight was the work C&D Productions has done since it's founding in 2014 to engage with local colleges in the area, especiallu Northampton College and Tresham College. The Kettering based theatre company was given vital work experience to over forty students in the past three years. This has ranged from costume and prop creation through to lighting and sound tech. This does not include the hundreds of performers of all ages who was acted for the theatre company, with many going on to study at universities and stage schools across the country.
The most successful Northampton College work experience story saw two make-up artists from the college join the theatre group as they travelled and performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2016.
