NBTU Productions : Behind the Scenes

NBTU is a year-long project that kicks off with an exciting, week-long programme from 11th to 15th August 2025. You'll be guided by experienced industry professionals who know exactly what it takes to create unforgettable live events. Dive into set design, lighting, sound, visuals, and live streaming, gaining practical, hands-on experience every step of the way.

During this opening week, you'll:

  • Design and build your own sets and lighting setups.
  • Learn to operate professional sound equipment and tech gear.
  • Discover the essentials of live streaming, including camera operation and visual effects.
  • Work in teams, taking on roles like stage manager, lighting and sound technician, DJ, host, and visual artist.
  • Plan, produce, and stream your own live event, showcasing your creativity and skills.
  • Explore touring essentials, discovering how to bring your event ideas to different venues and communities.

NBTU is all about getting real-world experience, building practical skills, collaborating creatively, and having a brilliant time together. You must be aged between 16 to 18 to participate. No experience? No worries. Just bring your ideas and energy.

It’s your event! Make it your way!
