WORDS ON WATER - Directed by Jennifer West

We are the music makers
We are the dreamers of dreams
Wandering by lone sea breakers
Sitting by desolate streams
- O’Shaughnessy

& LOVE IS THE THING, SO THEY SAY - Directed by Sam Chester

This years’ movement work explores the universal theme of ‘love’. Through physical response the students have explored their own stories, images and experiences of love to create this piece of theatre. It pays homage to the love letter and how words of love define us.

A Graduate touring company of REALITY BYTES is set to launch in 2010. We thank all those organisations represented that showed such enthusiasm and commitment to the cause of providing a theatrical voice to communities and their relevant issues.
