Create 2014 is a festival of arts, culture and creativity, hosted up by talented learners at Leicester College.

Learners across all three campuses of creative industries and digital technologies are staging their end-of-year shows to showcase their creative work of study.

The talented learners have completed their respective courses across all levels ranging from BTEC Diplomas to Foundation Degree courses in Creative Arts and Media, Performing Arts, Sound and Music Technology, and Hair and Beauty.

Leicester College is inviting the viewing public to come and see the work of our learners who have worked very professionally and conscientiously to produce these stunning exhibitions and shows.

Create 2014 consists of theatre productions, live music, fashion shows and exhibitions of art and design, media and film.

Among the shows will be a live performance of Blackout by Diploma level 2 learners in Performing Arts, Acting on Wednesday 28 May 2014 at 7.30pm.

The play by Davey Anderson is based on the true story of a 15-year-old boy charged with attempted murder who tries to piece together the events in his life that have brought him into a secure care unit and threaten to keep him there.

Kirsti Lord, Curriculum Area Manager for Performing Arts, Science and Humanities said: “This time of the year is special for us as it always generates a major buzz. It’s fantastic to see our learners’ hard work come to fruition through some stunning performances, exhibitions and interactive demonstrations.”
