Applicants are asked to submit a portfolio or summary of previous creative work, whether from employment, education, or a self-directed project.<\/p>\n<p>The Genesis Theatre Design Programme is a partnership bringing together the Mulberry Schools Trust, the National Theatre and The School of Historical Dress, with funding from the Genesis Foundation and additional support from the James Family Charitable Trust.<\/p>\n<p>Launched in 2023, the two-year, part-time course focuses on Staging, Performance and Costume Design. Participants learn directly from the National Theatre\u2019s world-class designers and directors and benefit from lectures, research projects, practical training, design assignments and placements as design assistants. Its approach mirrors the renowned Motley Theatre Design Course, maintaining a close connection to professional theatre.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Course leaders<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Gbolahan Obisesan<\/strong> \u2013 Award-winning British Nigerian actor, writer and director; former Artistic Director of Brixton House<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sadeysa Greenaway-Bailey<\/strong> \u2013 Black British Theatre Award and UK Theatre Award-winning designer<\/li>\n<li><strong>ULTZ<\/strong> \u2013 Olivier Award, UK Theatre Award, and Off-West End Award winner; Tony Award-nominated designer\/director<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Through our close partnership, students and staff at the Mulberry Schools Trust benefit by attending workshops, design presentations and masterclasses delivered by industry professionals. They gain valuable insight into theatre design, production processes and creative careers, as well as the chance to observe the programme\u2019s participants at work. Staff also have opportunities to deepen their specialist knowledge and strengthen their own creative practice through collaboration with the course leaders and visiting artists. Having the programme based at Mulberry UTC enriches our curriculum, raises aspiration across the Trust and ensures that our young people see first-hand what is possible within the creative industries.<\/p>\n<p>To find out more, please visit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.genesisdesigners.uk\"><strong>https:\/\/www.genesisdesigners.uk<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div class='flex_column av-aihfw-e9e786369e7a6e8f1cc573463f8175e7 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div '     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mid5367k-1441544ec79a439b913759a7fadc80a2\">\n.avia-image-container.av-mid5367k-1441544ec79a439b913759a7fadc80a2 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-mid5367k-1441544ec79a439b913759a7fadc80a2 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-mid5367k-1441544ec79a439b913759a7fadc80a2 av-styling- avia_animated_image av-animated-when-visible-95 fade-in avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-8  el_before_av_image  avia-builder-el-first '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" class='wp-image-615 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-615 avia_image lazyload' data-src=\"http:\/\/217.199.187.196\/mulberryarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/GTDP-300x300.jpg\" alt='' title='GTDP'  height=\"300\" width=\"300\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" data-srcset=\"http:\/\/217.199.187.196\/mulberryarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/GTDP-300x300.jpg 300w, http:\/\/217.199.187.196\/mulberryarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/GTDP-1030x1030.jpg 1030w, http:\/\/217.199.187.196\/mulberryarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/GTDP-80x80.jpg 80w, http:\/\/217.199.187.196\/mulberryarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/GTDP-768x768.jpg 768w, http:\/\/217.199.187.196\/mulberryarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/GTDP-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/217.199.187.196\/mulberryarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/GTDP-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, http:\/\/217.199.187.196\/mulberryarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/GTDP-36x36.jpg 36w, http:\/\/217.199.187.196\/mulberryarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/GTDP-180x180.jpg 180w, http:\/\/217.199.187.196\/mulberryarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/GTDP-1500x1500.jpg 1500w, http:\/\/217.199.187.196\/mulberryarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/GTDP-705x705.jpg 705w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px;
