A statement reads: "The launch of this sound course will cement RADA's leading position in the field of technical theatre craft and allow the Academy to widen access to training in this area, generating invaluable opportunities for talented individuals to help them to enter the industry. Sound Design for the Theatre will provide aspiring sound designers with the skills required to undertake a successful career in technical theatre at the highest level."
Based in RADA's state-of-the-art sound studios in London and run in association with the sound department of the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC), this full time, two year course will include a series of placements with the RSC, culminating in a six to twelve week attachment in their theatres in Stratford-Upon-Avon.
All RADA training provides students with invaluable contacts and placement opportunities, access to the expertise and knowledge of the RADA tutors, a wide and solid understanding of technical theatre craft, and a tailored, hands-on approach to vocational learning.
The application deadline for Sound Design for Theatre is 31 March 2012.
