A platform for original work by graduating students from the BA Acting for Contemporary and Devised Performance course at the University of Northampton.
This festival presents four new plays, each developed and performed by final-year students as part of their professional launch into the industry. The work reflects a diverse range of voices, processes, and creative approaches shaped through three years of training in contemporary and devised theatre-making.
The Origin Arts Festival is an opportunity to encounter the work of emerging artists as they take their first steps into the professional world — creating with autonomy, clarity, and purpose.
"Our children live in the most deprived ward in London and their parents cannot afford to pay for the classes and activities many more privileged children enjoy after school and at the weekends. A free-to-access youth group run by a local theatre in a professional setting is an incredible opportunity."
