Theatretech have been providing the Education sector with a specialised theatre consultancy service for 30 years, and in that time have completed over 200 projects up and down the UK and abroad.

Their expertise covers architectural design and acoustics, stage lighting, sound and communications, video and integrated control systems, staging and rigging,
seating systems and layouts, conference and presentation, dance and concert scenarios.

Theatretech will advise on every level of requirement, whether it be a simple refurbishment of a lighting or sound system, to a full scale new theatre or major conversion. Their wide experience has ensured they have a complete understanding of the difficulties of providing multi-use and speedy flexibility in schools, where not only do Performing Arts facilities generally have to cater for both drama and music, where acoustic requirements are at the opposite ends of the scale, but also exams, conferences and presentations, dance, assemblies and the one-off parents’ days, prize giving etc.

Health and Safety requirements are becoming onerous in such spaces, yet at the same time, the curriculum for drama studies requires a greatly increased level of technical expertise. This creates a fundamental contradiction, difficult to surmount. As Theatretech are active at all levels of the theatre business, including professional theatre, foreign projects including conference centres in Qatar and Saudi Arabia, TV complexes in Saudi Arabia, theatres in Greece, Spain and Estonia, their understanding of the complexities and possible solutions, and of course compromises to the issues however they occur, is highly developed.
