Alumni Scratch Night - 5 March, 7pm - Expression of Interest Form

We’re excited to invite alumni to share new work in an informal, supportive, and creative space. This is a chance to test out material—whether it’s new writing, a short performance, or a reading—in front of a friendly audience of fellow alumni and students.

Venue: Central SU Bar
Performance length: Maximum 5 minutes per piece
Capacity: Up to 12 performances for the evening

Please note: This is a low-tech event. An area will be set up in the SU Bar for performances, and house lights will remain the same for all pieces. There will be no additional tech, lighting, or sound support, so performances should be kept minimal in setup.

If you’d like to take part, please complete the form below. We welcome alumni from all disciplines and encourage a variety of performances, from new writing and spoken word to devised pieces.

Performance slots will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis, provided they meet the outlined requirements.
