Near and Far Festival performances

Thursday 21 March 2024 - 5pm - 7pm
West Building theatre, Docklands campus

Come to watch our students' cultural performances, taking place as part of the Near and Far Festival.

From poetry to music, singing to dance - and covering countries including India, Bhutan, Nigeria and Pakistan - there's something for everyone. Come along to discover some of the best and most dynamic elements of these cultures. 

Our cultural performance shows will be split into two halves, with an interval in the middle. We ask that in order to be respectful to our performers, you stay for the entire duration or leave in the interval if required. As usual, please be quiet and respectful during the performances.
