Balance: the Festival Academy Musicians at National Star College 2011

2011's collaboration saw musicians and students working together more freely and closely than ever before in the beautiful and inspiring new spaces at the College. Taking the theme of balance as a starting point, and working in small groups, they explored birds in flight, freedom, the work-life balance and love. Music, poetry, rap and song all featured in four intensely creative and deeply moving performances at the end of the day.

‘There was no patronising, no condescension. Here, everyone was an equal artist, and every idea was taken on its own terms. It really was a wonderful, fun, liberating and moving experience.’ (Festival Academy musician)'
