Inspicients

An inspicient is like a technical director – they make sure that all set elements, platform movements, lighting cues and performers are in the right place at the right time.

Costume and make-up

The costume department and wardrobe take care of everything to do with costumes, from the hat down to the shoes. The make-up department takes care of everything from silicone noses, full masks, teeth, fake tattoos, wigs, beards, moustaches and much more.

Stage, lighting, video, sound and wardrobe

These departments consist of professional technicians who are responsible for all stage tech.

Workshops and construction

Around 30 people work in our workshops – with construction, metalwork, carpentry, set painting, fabrics and props.
