What does it mean to “make it” as an artist in the 21st century? As traditions evolve and power shifts, artists with the skills to create their own work become the trailblazers of our culture.

- The Making of Us : Final Year Actors’ Self-Led Performances
- Collaborative Performance Making Showcase
- Electronic & Produced Music Showcase
- SMORGASBORD: The Making It Cabaret

The jam-packed Festival programme also includes special events, installations and pop-up performances across the campus.
