About this event

Have you considered a career in the arts but don't know where to start?

Do you love theatre but would rather be behind the scenes than on the stage?

Do you want to know how you can make a creative business thrive?

Then join us for the London Careers Festival's Cultural and Creative Careers day, where you will be able to build a day of workshops to best suit your creative aims and interests.

• Character Creation for the Stage with Lilly Driscoll
• Immersive experiences and the business of theatre with Jury Games
• Behind the scenes in TV, Film and Theatre with National Youth Theatre
• 'Squiggly Careers' and making a living in the arts - a panel discussion
• Onstage, Backstage, Music and More with Guildhall School of Music and Drama

Workshops will be approximately an hour and fifteen minutes long and will happen three times each over the course of the day, allowing students to choose their own path through the sessions.

About Theatre Deli

Theatre Deli fills empty spaces with art and artists, creativity and community.

Registered charity Theatre Deli has been a driving force within the arts since 2008, taking over empty spaces in city centres including five London boroughs and Sheffield, and creating 15 hubs to date that support emerging artists, companies and communities whose identities, backgrounds, disciplines or work are underrepresented in theatre.

About London Careers Festival

The London Careers Festival is a free annual event that aims to inspire young Londoners, from primary to post-16, to consider Square Mile connected careers, particularly those who experience barriers to those careers.

Showing your ticket and confirming actual pupil numbers - You only need to show one QR code or booking confirmation and your lead teacher will be asked to confirm how many pupils are in attendance.

IMPORTANT – Photography and Filming Permissions
