Last week, we said goodbye to our Trainee Theatre Technician, Matt, who recently completed a six-month Breakthrough Traineeship at Pavilion Dance South West.

Over the past few months, Matt was an invaluable part of our Tech Team, helping bring to life so many incredible performances and events throughout the winter season. Some of his personal highlights included The Monocle by Rendez-vouz Dance, our lively Ceilidhs, and our newest school event, the Primary Dance Festival.

Matt quickly became a much-loved member of the team, gaining confidence, experience, and improving his communication skills along the way. Reflecting on his time with us, Matt shared:

The Pavilion Dance team are lovely and non-judgmental people to work with. It has been a pleasure to start my career in such a welcoming environment.

Matt now embarks on the next stage of his career as a technician at a new venue, and we’re thrilled that he has promised to visit us from time to time. We wish him every success and know he has a bright future ahead!
