feeder programme

Some of the six workshops will tie in with the Core Programme residentials, giving the Feeder students an opportunity to meet the students on the Core Programme and hear the final performances at each weekend.

The remaining workshops will be spread throughout the year and will be held at various venues across the South West. Read on to find out more about what happened at the most recent Feeder Scheme days.
