Creative Arts Showcase
As part of Ulster University’s Creative Arts Showcase, the annual End of Year Showcase for Drama celebrates the best of work by our final year students with a selection of performances and research presentations.
Work from modules as diverse as Storytelling and Performance, Irish Theatre, Theatre for Young Audiences and Arts & Health will feature alongside student-led projects as part of the Independent Project module. This range of work displays the excellence of the creativity and scholarship of the students in Drama.
We are excited to present the Drama strand of the Ulster University Creative Arts Showcases event. For students and staff, this is the moment they have the opportunity to show to the public, and to friends and relatives, the skills which have been gained over three years of intensive study. In doing so they follow in the footsteps of many distinguished graduates who have gone on to make a sustained contribution to the creative industries. The students who will perform during the events will not only be highly professional artists but they will also have an understanding that the arts is an industry and will have gained the employability skills to compete at the highest levels in this extremely competitive environment. They will have gained those skills working with staff who have been recognised in the Student Union Awards as ‘Subject Team of the Year’, with individual staff again being nominated for this year’s awards. The range of creativity, passion, and skill you will see during the performances is an indication of the remarkable talent these young people have, and the hours of work which have been spent in collaboration with their tutors to bring them to this point. It is a privilege to have the opportunity to sample this remarkable talent and to witness the moment when students become artists.
