Do Tallescopes need outriggers?
 
Banner1NIA/REP

MOSC is an employer led organisation, made up of representatives from arts organisations, suppliers, training providers and freelancers, in live theatre and music across 70% of the Midlands.

We have been meeting regularly since May 2007, discussing the formation of the National Skills Academy and common training issues and developments.  We are following the common need to ensure our organisations continue to be staffed by skilled and competent people.

 

Brod Mason, Technical Director, says "I think it is great that the industry is taking practical steps towards acknowledging the great skill base UK theatre technicians possess".
