Turbulence - A Festival of New Work

"What follows is fitful, uncertain, even hallucinatory, although sometimes it can be an unstoppable avalanche."
Harold Pinter, Art, Truth & Politics Nobel Lecture 2005

Experience TURBULENCE, a festival of new work created and presented by MA Advanced Theatre Practice students from Central School of Speech and Drama, running from Wed 17th - Sat 27th June 2009.

TURBULENCE showcased the work of twelve new companies, made up of developing artists and practitioners from across the globe who came together on the MA Advanced Theatre Practice Course at Central School of Speech and Drama. With projects including devised plays, experiential theatre, visual media installations and documentary film making, TURBULENCE provided an opportunity to see the culmination of work created by the 2009 class, before they left their studies to continue their work elsewhere.
