Welcome to the spring 2016 programme at Falmouth’s REMOVABLE SEASON CALENDER 11 Academy of Music and Theatre Arts. This season sees us continuing to bring pioneering new work from leading dance, theatre and music groups to – from the emergent to the internationally-acclaimed. Some shows, such as James Wilton on 6 & 12 February, are presented as an evening performance and a free afternoon schools’ matinee, enabling Cornish audiences and children to see great work in a world-class facility. As our regular events, such as the Young Persons’ Creative Dance Sessions continue, some new initiatives are being launched. Particularly exciting are the forthcoming recording of a BBC Music Introducing Showcase on 10 February and an extensive range of public performances and creative events by current students. BA(Hons) Music, Theatre & Entertainment Management BA(Hons) Creative Events Management We look forward to welcoming you to AMATA.
