Training days will be held at the Pleasance in London as well as at the Zero 88 facility in Cwmbran. These training events are open to anyone who has recently purchased or is considering purchasing an ORB or anyone looking to extend their range of console knowledge. Each day runs from 10am until 4pm with lunch included. Places must be booked in advance.


London – Pleasance
Pleasance in Islington is one of London’s premier fringe theatres. Since its opening in 1995 it has produced and housed literally hundreds of companies, productions and performers including Fever Pitch by Nick Hornby Richard III, The Alchemist by Paulo Coehlo and National Hero starring Timothy West and Nichola McAuliffe. It has also played host to some of the biggest names in comedy such as Graham Norton, Al Murray, Bill Bailey, and more recently The Mighty Boosh, as well as location filming for BBC productions including Love Soup and Spaced.

Pleasance was of the first venues in the UK to take delivery of an ORB, which is now installed as their house console.
