Behind the scenes

Through the Victorian State Schools Spectacular, students from government schools are provided with invaluable experience and unique opportunities to work with some of the industry’s leading award-winning professionals behind the scenes on audio, lighting and video production, stage management, costuming, hair and make-up.

Students interested in technical disciplines participate in a structured program of factory workshops with our suppliers as part of their preparation for production week at John Cain Arena.
