Trinity 'Ffrinj' festival a record-breaker
Trinity University College’s Ffrinj Festival saw record audience numbers across a range of creative events organised and performed by the University’s students.
The Student Ffrinj Committee worked all year to prepare an exciting and vibrant programme of artistic events and were richly rewarded for their efforts.
Kevin Matherick, Head of the Faculty of Arts and Social Studies said: “This year has seen the students worked alongside Liane Davies from the iCreu project and Dominic Williams of Parthian Books which gave them the opportunity to work within a more professional context, creating a ffrinj website and developing their entrepreneurial skills.”
The events ranged from readings from the MA Creative Writing anthology Shadow Plays at Dylan Thomas' Boathouse, Laugharne to performances of Edward Bond's play Derek ; from the launch of Sunflowers in Your Eyes, an anthology of Zimbabwean women poets, a closing Evening of Music and Dance involving Trinity’s Theatre & Performance students and pupils from Talley Primary School.
Mr Matherick concluded: “It was a particular pleasure this year to have an international flavour to the Ffrinj when thirty Canadian students from Douglas College, British Columbia, who are visiting Trinity for a Summer School, took the opportunity to participate in a Student Showcase of theatre, short stories and poetry. Congratulations to the Ffrinj Committee for a wonderfully creative and inspiring week of events!”
