Future stars showcase talent at Bath arts festival

Wednesday, 26 April, 2023

Future stars of stage and screen will be showcasing their talents during a month-long arts festival in Bath.

SparkFest takes place from 9 May to 12 June and over the five weeks, hundreds of undergraduate and postgraduate students from Bath Spa University’s Bath School of Music and Performing Arts - along with staff, alumni and collaborators - will stage around 100 performances in venues all across the city.

Events range from comedy and musical compositions, to debate and digital productions, and even aerial dance, giving audiences hope, inspiration, reflection and purpose… or even just a big belly laugh!

The festival is produced by the School’s own production company, Bath Spa Productions, in collaboration with Bath Festivals - one of the University’s cultural partners, and offers students a wealth of valuable opportunities.
Kerry Irvine, Subject Leader in Acting and Production at Bath Spa, and Producer at Bath Spa Productions, said: “SparkFest is a festival that is driven by the creativity of Bath Spa University students.

"It gives a platform for our early career creatives to find and express their artistic voice and springboard their career."

"It's an opportunity to show everyone not just their talent but the culmination of everything they have been training for on their courses.”
