More about the course
In this two-year, Live Performance Technical Production degree you will develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours required to become a live event technician. This course has been informed by a team of industry experts which gives you the unique opportunity to study a course with a holistic approach to technician training synthesising systems and processes within live sound and lighting for live events, theatre processes, moving image and video conferencing.
Throughout the course you will practise and refine your technical skills through work-based situations and study in our dedicated music and theatre venues. You will learn how to do written investigations, presentations, observation witness statements, critiques, and workplace documentation, records, policies and procedures in line with industry requirements.
We will challenge you not only in your development of technical knowledge and skills but in your increasing autonomy and industrial confidence as these skills are transferred to new contexts. As an ‘industry integrated’ programme we will provide you the opportunity for industry-based application of skills within a series of internal and external regional music and theatre venues in the Live Across Newcastle season of events. Curated by The Performance Academy in collaboration with a range of regional venues and company partners, this opportunity will ensure your work-readiness as you graduate.
From 2025 this degree will be an approved Higher Technical Qualification quality marked by the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education.
