Free theatre masterclasses with professionals from the creative industries
Cov Futures brings successful Coventry creatives back to their home city to share their experience, knowledge and skills.
With a new project, Kicking Down the Doors, The Albany Theatre is hosting a series of free theatre masterclasses and creative workshops in Coventry for emerging talent.
Across seven sessions, you’ll have the chance to learn directly from people who have built careers in theatre, film and television.
Experience eye-opening sessions from real Coventry-born professionals, offering practical advice and sessions tied directly to the participants involved.
Theatre masterclasses with people who know the industry
Our first Cov Futures masterclasses were sold-out workshops over three days with internationally acclaimed theatre director Laurence Boswell, who grew up in Coventry and began his career here.
The masterclasses gave emerging theatre-makers the opportunity to work with Laurence, explore directing and acting, and learning from his experience working in theatre.
Next up: Tom Wright
Working in Theatre with Tom Wright
Our next theatre masterclass in Coventry brings Tom Wright to The Albany Theatre.
This session will explore what it is really like to build a career in theatre, with the opportunity to hear Tom’s experiences, ask questions and learn more about the industry.
Whether you’re interested in directing, producing, acting, programming or simply want to understand more about how theatre careers work, this is a chance to learn from someone with years of professional experience.
