The Digital Media Academy will offer participants many opportunities to collaborate with the Belgrade Theatre as they develop their skills. This includes meeting the Creative Director of the Belgrade Theatre, interviewing cast members of upcoming productions at the Belgrade, access into the theatre’s rehearsal spaces and R&D sessions along with the opportunity to visit a local professional film set. The Digital Media Academy was first launched in 2021, where participants worked on the Belgrade’s TV drama series SeaView which is now available to stream on Amazon Prime.

Simone Herbert, Digital Producer at The Belgrade Theatre, said: “I'm excited that through the Belgrade’s Digital Media Academy, we'll be able to offer the space and expertise for participants to enhance their video production skills. It will be a real privilege to be part of the process of uncovering and nurturing the next generation of Coventry & West Midlands-based talent.”

The Belgrade Theatre’s Digital Media Academy will begin sessions on Wednesday 22 April 2024. Applications are now open at belgrade.co.uk and will close on Tuesday 14 April. The Belgrade actively encourages applications from anyone with additional needs or who may require bespoke adaptation, support or sensitivity.
