Cycle week occurs annually on this course, where you will get the option to choose one of four areas to participate in or perform including solos, directing, workshops and productions. These projects allow you to showcase your talents and ideas in a supportive and collaborative environment, as well as gain experience in a variety of roles in putting on a production.
