Once again, the Cardiff ATRiuM makes news when the enormous crowd of new actors takes to the stage!
It's only the second year that the CCI Faculty has been in their new ARTS & MEDIA facility, the ATRiuM, located in the heart of the Welsh Capital City Cardiff, but already the ATRiuM has become a regional hub for performance studies related events.
If you'd like to take a peek, just to see why everyone is so excited, why not try something FREE?

My dear and esteemed colleague Professor Steve Blandford writes to us:
Dear all
On behalf of my colleagues I would like to invite you to come to at least one of the theatre shows that our final year students will be presenting all week, starting 23rd March. A PDF of the poster (designed by the fantastic Gareth Hughes) is attached.
Just as the art and design degree shows, film screenings, radio broadcasts, dissertations, music performances etc are the climax of their studies for many of your students these shows are the equivalent for those working in live theatre performance. It is always very much appreciated by the students (and us) if colleagues can find time in their busy schedules to support them.
As you will see there are 14 shows in all spread across the week. They are free, most are under an hour (and only fractionally longer in one or two cases) and therefore it is reasonably easy to fit one in.

Like all student work the standard varies, though unlike most written work these are open to very public scrutiny! Some times the work is outstanding and takes on a life beyond University.
One show from last year is still touring professionally and was taken up as a performance for schools and young people by Bridgend Local Authority as part of its response to the tragic events in the area over the last two years.
If you would like any more information please get in touch.
All best wishes
Steve
