Throughout February 2010 three local emerging artists will go through an intensive development process, supported by Sustained Theatre West Midlands Hub.

Each artist will devise a 30-minute presentation of their work with a professional director and performers. Exploring their creativity and pushing their abilities, the work will be bold, exciting and fun, capturing the creative young talent that the UK’s second city has to offer!
