15.10 + 16.10 Stagemanager (incl Toolkit)

Become the Key player behind the scenes - Stage Manager Training SM006

Backstage is about more than hospitality. A great stage manager in the club and festival industry combines technical knowledge, social skills, and mental resilience. You’re the one who keeps oversight, solves problems on the spot, and ensures everything runs safely and smoothly, even under pressure.

With the Stage Manager Training by Gain Momentum, you’ll develop exactly those skills in a hands-on setting that prepares you directly for the field with your own personal Stagemanager Tool Kit.

What you’ll learn

• Technical: reading timetables and callsheets, managing changeovers, hospitality, safety, troubleshooting, and understanding the field.

• Social: clear and concise communication, balancing clarity with hospitality, handling backstage social pressure.

• Mental: working under pressure, setting boundaries, managing stress, and building resilience during long and demanding shifts.

The program

Over two intensive training days, you’ll dive into realistic simulations with industry guest lecturers. You’ll finish with a theory exam and a practical shift at a live event. Together, these form your final assignment. Your growth continues through check-ins and recertification.
