Get Involved

We welcome all students across Manchester Universities and you don't need any previous technical experience.

At MUTTS we believe that the best ways to learn are both on the job and with practical training sessions based around the use of the equipment that we stock.

Taster and Training Sessions

At the start of each semester we run training sessions dedicated to introducing people to the basics of theatre technology, such as showing you how to rig simple lights systems and use the basic features of an audio mixing desk. These are great opportunities to try your hand at what we do with real equipment and learn the basics to get your foot in the door. But don't worry if you miss these! We're always happy to teach and introduce new people.

Tuesday Sessions

Throughout the academic year we meet on Tuesdays, usually at the SU theatre. There's always prep for upcoming events or training sessions taking place so come down, say hello and see how you can get involved.

Directions to the theatre can be found here.

Rigs and De-rigs

For each of our jobs, we have a rig and a de-rig which is usually all hands on deck, and we are always happy to welcome new people who are willing to lend a hand, even if they don't have much experience. Keep an eye on our discord for when and where these are, since they can be a great learning opportunity.

Socials

Sometimes its nice to get away from all that tech stuff. We're regularly in the pub after a workshop session and we also host events like an annual christmas dinner, an end of year party, and chill movie nights with takeout. Keep an eye on our instagram and discord for these, and always feel free to come along!

Sound interesting?

It'd be great to see you at one of our get-ins or at our weekly workshop sessions. Join our discord to get involved, or follow our instagram to take a look at the kind of projects we do and the socials we run.



Alternatively, feel free to get in touch with our committee if you would like more information.
