Help us support the next generation of theatre technicians
Since 2021, The Andy Nairn Bursaries in Technical Theatre have helped young people and anyone curious about working backstage take part in a range of programmes at Curve. From apprenticeships and nationally recognised qualifications, to taster workshops and career events, these experiences engage thousands of people every year and help build confidence, explore all the career pathways available, and develop the skills required to succeed.
Founded in memory of our former Head of Production Andy Nairn, who died in November 2020 at the age of 34, Andy was passionate about mentoring future generations of technicians and believed that everyone should have access to the best training opportunities.
Can you help us continue this transformative programme, and honour Andy’s legacy?
