On their first trip to the Roundhouse Studios, the students from our Leaways School in Hackney went on a tour of the venue, looking at the various recording studios and rehearsal spaces. They also had the experience of how a Podcast studio is operated and played on some of the instruments available.
On their second trip, the students took part in a workshop, presented by Rebecca (Roundhouse Schools Programme Lead). Within the workshop, they looked at the variety of careers available within Media and Entertainment, from technical, bookings and management, make-up and costumes and all of the other areas that people might not consider when thinking of Media careers such as carpentry, studio runners and stagehands.
Roundhouse Works run a programme for children aged 16+ whereby they offer free studio time, technical support and use of their facilities. Rebecca explained that Leaways School is now part of the Schools Programme, and the children will be able to access this offer once they reach school leaving age.
What exciting creative career opportunities lie ahead!
