On Wednesday 27 February a day of creative exchange took place at Anglia Ruskin's Covent Garden Drama Studio, Cambridge.

3rd year Drama and Performing Arts students presented two works that were developed as part of their Special Subject module. These focused on the uses of repetition in contemporary performance and Antonin Artaud's 'Theatre of Cruelty' respectively. This was followed by a presentation of two works by MA Dance and Choreography students from the University of Bedfordshire, choreographed by lecturers Colin Poole and Matthias Sperling.

The performances were followed by a discussion that focused on creative processes, the use of improvisation and how to avoid boredom when having to repeat a performance again and again. The Bedfordshire students also ran a workshop that dealt with relationships evolving between performers.

All the students showed enthusiasm, professionalism and commitment throughout the exchange, which provided a wonderful opportunity for them to share work and discuss creative practices.

Many thanks go to everyone involved.
