BBC Bring the Drama Festival at LIPA

The Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA) is showcasing the behind-the-scenes work involved in its latest production, Emilia as part of the BBC’s Bring the Drama Festival: Careers Behind the Scenes. 

Emilia – Behind the Scenes is on Thursday 7 March at 18:00 and is a free event. It includes a backstage tour, snapshots of the creative journey through examples of sets, props and costumes and their design and construction, a lighting design demonstration, tickets to the show and a post-performance Q&A with the creative team and director. 

BBC Bring the Drama Festival: Careers Behind the Scenes runs throughout March. Suzy Klein is Head of Arts TV at the BBC, she says: “We have created the Bring the Drama Festival so that anyone who wants to get into the many offscreen roles in theatre, film and TV can find an event near them, to introduce them to the magical world of working in the creative industries. 

“There is so much talent across Britain and making world-class movies, TV shows and theatre is one of our greatest global exports – working with more than 150 partner organisations, the festival promises to lure in the next generation of brilliant creatives.” 

Admission to Emilia – Behind the Scenes is free but booking is essential. You can find out more and book your place here.
