Senior Lighting Tutor

Mountview does things differently. Whether through our higher education programme, our participation work or Mountview Exams, our training aims to develop skills, grow confidence, celebrate creativity and reward individuality.

As one of the UK’s leading drama schools, we develop actors and practitioners who will become the future of the creative industries. Through innovative practice, new approaches to working and close relationships with industry, we cultivate graduates who are independent, generous and actively connected to the issues of the day.

The arts can enrich and change lives. We are passionate about dismantling barriers to the arts and engaging with communities in Peckham and beyond. Every year we share our space, expertise and resources, opening up access to the dramatic arts for all ages and abilities, while simultaneously learning from and collaborating with the vibrant cultural ecology on our doorstep.

Mountview is synonymous with exceptional Musical Theatre training and we are widely considered to lead the field as global innovators. We are proud to have launched our own examination board, offering graded Musical Theatre qualifications. Our unrivalled expertise brings a fresh approach, sharing our values with people of all ages and at all stages in their development.

Today’s students join a constellation of graduates making their mark on the profession. Actors Grace Hodgett Young (Sunset Boulevard), Ben Joyce (Back to the Future), Louisa Harland (Derry Girls), Artistic Director Rachel Bagshaw (Unicorn Theatre), Musical Director Sean Green (Get Up, Stand Up!), Olivier Award-winning actor Giles Terera (Hamilton) and actor Eddie Marsan are just a few of our notable alumni.
