Wiltshire Creative Further Education Performing and Production Arts Showcase 2020 - Preview
We are delighted to present a few highlights from this year's Showcase. Usually this is a live event on one of our professional stages but due to Covid-19 the students learning has temporarily shifted to online platforms. Which means that the format of their showcase is also now virtual. This is the culmination of 6 weeks of collaboration and independent creativity working within their limited means to research, learn, devise and record their performances. We hope you enjoy these early takes.
Alumni destinations: Some of the exciting destinations for our brilliant students who have completed the course include:
Performing Arts: Rose Bruford, Goldsmiths University, Chichester University, Bath Spa University, East15
Production Arts: Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, LAMDA, LiPA, GSA
