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.
Tobi King Bakare and this theatre deserve a shout-out for such a young, diverse audience. There is so much talk about audiences being full of over 60s and why, why can’t theatres get the crowds in to reflect society in general? Well, I’m happy to say that on a rainy Thursday evening, the theatre was completely full.
