In recent years, over 90% of LAMDA's Stage Management & Technical Theatre students who actively sought jobs in the sector found employment within three months of graduation.
The academic year group is separated into four so that they have a much more intimate and hands on experience over the four days. LAMDA is very much a practical academy and so this ties in perfectly with the way in which they train their students.
LAMDA introduced its pioneering Stage Management & Technical Theatre course in 1965, creating a prototype for this type of vocational training within the UK.
"We have selected a range of different manufacturers (including GLP, Robe, Martin Professional and Pulsar) and types of LED products to give the students a far deeper understanding of what you can achieve with an LED fixture. It also gives them a chance to learn the advantages and disadvantage of using LED instead of tungsten and the applications in which they can be most effective," says Cox.
