On moving. On being moved. On what moves you. This momentous moment. Five dynamic, haunting, riotous pieces devised by our Final Years. All Welcome. 

23 Students 10 countries.

We are delighted to present work from 23 final year students from the Department of Theatre in Momentum. These students are graduating into an extraordinary global moment where the unique sensibilities and liveness of theatre have become urgent. Theatre as a form is both precious and revolutionary, a critical and embodied counterpoint to a thousand screens, movements of invasion, war and broken climate. We are distinctively proud of them and their work; they represent a strong and international group of young people from 10 countries: Bulgaria, Canada, Ireland, Kazakhstan, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia / Morocco, The Netherlands, Ukraine and the US. The theatre they have made is tender, moving, riotous, passionate and funny. Five diverse devised pieces - exploring themes of identity, loss and how to make a mark as well as moving on. Join us.
