From Monday the 12th to Saturday the 17th of April, Rose Bruford College of Theatre and Performance will host the Come Together Festival - Symposium 2010.
Our annual Spring Symposium focuses on student and staff research, putting practice on display and demonstrating how it lies at the heart of all artistic endeavours here at Rose Bruford. Over the years Symposium has become a College fixture, a time to stop and reflect on how we can make theatre that is adventurous and surprising. It is also a seasonal rite of passage for our students. (Professor Michael Earley - Principal and Chief Executive)
Symposium 2010 heralds the third and final year of our research project The Festival Adventure. We are reflecting on the notion and purpose of ‘festival’ with particular regard to celebrating diversity and building communities. To investigate further we have extended the week to include a Community Day on Saturday when people from the locality will join our festivities. (Professor Nesta Jones - Director of Research)
