Fusion Theatre Festival

Fusion Theatre Festival was a started by an initiative a Hills Road Sixth Form College which grew under the team I was a part of. We linked the school to our local arts centre Cambridge Junction and ran a series of workshops in local schools which culminated in a final performance that started the festival off. The rest of the festival was made of local artists from all disciplines we could possibly find. The first festival in 2015 had over 30 performances in one day and was entirely crowd funded. The next festival we applied for funding from Arts Councils Grants for the Arts Scheme (now NLPG) and year after the year the festival grew.

The last edition of the festival featured Schecter 2, Crybabies, Police Cops and a collective schools show written by a local artist about the water crisis in Cambridge and climate change.
