Technical Development Workshops for Emerging Theatre Makers

An Tobar and Mull Theatre are thrilled to invite anyone interested in early-career or emerging theatre practice to a unique, hands-on opportunity to dive into the world of technical theatre. Led by our expert Technical & Production Manager, Louise Gregory, this practical workshop will give you the skills and confidence to take your productions to the next level.

Over two immersive days, you’ll explore the essentials of technical theatre—from mastering key terminology to getting the most out of sound and lighting, and learning how to collaborate effectively with designers. This is not just a workshop—it’s an experience, complete with two nights’ accommodation at our organisation’s accommodation in Tobermory, giving you the chance to connect with fellow emerging theatre makers. (Please note: travel expenses are not included.)
