The space for the main stage is up to 200 metres square and features a retractable seating rake for 200 people. The House Studio provides a performance and practice studio for up to 50 students, with dedicated changing facilities. 

We have three technicians available to work with students to provide advice and operate technical elements during shows and assessments. Technicians also assist with designing, programming and operating lighting, sound and video, stage management, set design, construction and changing the format of the space.
