TECHNICAL APPRENTICESHIPS

Our Technical Apprenticeship programme offers a production-long, professional experience for highly motivated and committed individuals who are looking to bridge the gap between their academic experience and a professional career in theatre. We offer apprenticeships in Stage Management, Production Management, Technical Management, as well as an exclusive programme in Lighting Design.

Apprentices will work with our professional Stage Management team from pre-production through the final performance.

In the process, they will have the opportunity to maintain paperwork, take line notes, be on book, preset and run shows, among other duties.

Stage Management apprentices are required to attend rehearsals and become an active running crew member during performances.

Apprentices will have the opportunity to work with our professional Technical Management team and Creative team. The apprentice will gain hands-on experience working with professionals in the industry from pre to postproduction.

This is a 24-month apprenticeship programme for all young professionals interested in Technical Management.

Dates and hours will be determined by the needs of each production.

Apprentices will work with our full-time Production Management staff.

Production Management has the critical role of keeping a production running smoothly from conceptualization through rehearsals, set-up, performances, and eventually strike and archival.

Apprentices will assist the Production Management team in coordinating the various production disciplines – scenic, lighting, wardrobe, sound, multimedia projection, and stage management.

Production Management apprentices are required to fulfil office hours in the department as well as attend to the needs of the production during performances.

This is a 12-month apprenticeship that will give an intermediate-level lighting-specialized individual an exclusive opportunity to further develop their craft under the mentorship of Pangdemonium’s Associate Artist, James Tan.

Dates and hours will be determined by the needs of each production.

We’re looking for earlycareer professionals who meet the following qualifications:

• Have some previous theatre training and skills.

• Exhibit a strong drive to work in this field (relevant academic qualifications are a plus, but not a requirement)

• Are over 18 years old.

• Are willing to clock irregular working hours.

• Can commit for the length of the production (depending on individual apprenticeships, may be anything from 3 to 6 months)

• Word processing and spreadsheet experience is also required.

Admission by interview only. For enquiries, please email us at education@pangdemonium.com.
