Emerging artists will showcase their talent in a contemporary performance festival at De Montfort University Leicester (DMU) this weekend.
Outlines Performance Festival is run by staff and students from Performance Practices MA and Arts MA to demonstrate the excellent standard of work and the interdisciplinary nature of the courses.
The annual festival is open to the public and will commence at 2pm on Sunday 4 October in the PACE building on the DMU campus where admission is free.
Sally Doughty, Programme Leader for Performance Practices MA, said: “People can expect performances of a contemporary nature with an interdisciplinary approach.
“They have been rehearsing all this week and the work that has been produced is really exciting; it is innovative and cutting-edge.
“It is so important to support and nurture students as emerging artists and it will be an opportunity to show the scope of the performance work DMU students engage in.”
