About The Backstage Academy


Who we are  //  Facilities // Vacancies

The Backstage Academy was set up to do things differently – to deliver what our industry so urgently needs – high quality, relevant and practical training in different backstage skills. Key to this will be ensuring that our students are ready for work when they leave us - we can do this because we are an industry based academy working with the education sector. 

Through our partnership with LS-Live we are uniquely placed to keep track with industry demands, giving our students a head start when they come to commence (or develop) their careers. Based at the LS-Live rehearsal studios in Wakefield we are putting the finishing touches to our exciting new facilities.

Our unique modular approach means that we can offer learning to suit individuals - from simply learning for fun right through to part or full time study on our new one year foundation degree.


"Just as the music industry is always looking to nurture new talent for the future, so too must the backstage sector look to investing in the next generation—those who will build the stages of tomorrow."


Adrian Brooks, Managing Director, LS-Live and Founder of the Backstage Academy.
