Established by the ALPD in 2015, the Lumière Scheme is an exciting professional development programme that provides pathways into the industry for emerging lighting designers.
After a successful partnering with Glyndebourne for several years the ALPD are delighted that this partnership will take place once again in 2027.
The programme combines practical production experience with opportunities to learn from established lighting designers. We’ll keep applicants informed as the programme takes shape, and explain its scope, dates and financial arrangements at interview.
Mentoring and support will reflect the applicant’s experience and the skills they want to develop.
Applications are welcome from anyone who has a minimum of two year’s professional experience working in the industry. (The ALPD cannot accept anyone who is currently in full-time education or has just graduated.)
The ALPD are committed to inclusivity and are actively encouraging applications from those who feel they are currently under-represented in the UK theatre industry. We would also like to encourage applicants who may have moved away from theatre for various reasons and want to return to the industry. You do not need to be a member of the ALPD to apply for the Design Lumière Scheme. Applications close at midnight on 22nd November.
