FAQ
Why are you putting on this event?
The University of Warwick has a wealth of highly motivated student bands, theatre societies and other performing groups which we want to present to whole University community in the summer term. This is inspired by the old 'Warwick Student Arts Festival', which to our knowledge last took place in 2015.
How is WSAF different to other events such as SocFest, MTW StageFest and Freshblood Festival?
WSAF's aim is to widen performance opportunities and to give people the chance to watch something that they might not have seen otherwise. We're providing a wider range of arts than society-specific events such as StageFest and Freshblood, and are more performance and arts-related than SocsFest. You're more than welcome to submit and exhibit the same performance at both WSAF and another event.
Where will everything take place?
WSAF will take place all over the University of Warwick campus. Our preliminary list includes a stage on the Piazza, Curiositea and the FAB Studios in addition to the performance spaces in Avon and Milburn House - however this is subject to change.
Is there any funding available for production costs?
There may be a limited amount of funding available - please get in touch as this will need to be discussed individually. Tech (sound, lights and video) will be provided by WSAF in collaboration with Tech Crew and does not need to be individually budgeted for.
How long can my performance be?
We're hoping for most shows to be shorter than 60 minutes, to allow people to see as much as possible over the weekend. However, if your show is longer than this, get in touch and we can work something out.
I'd just like to perform a short set individually. Is this possible?
Yes! When you fill in the form it has an option for small/solo performances. Currently, we're planning on combining similar acts into larger events where there's a lot of interest, but if not we'll try to find a place to slot you into the schedule anyway.
I'd like to help out but don't want or have anything to perform. Is this possible?
Of course! We'll likely need a lot of help in advance with organisation and marketing, and on the day with operations and logistics. Please reach out to us at [email protected].
I've found references to an older Warwick Student Arts Festival or Warwick Fringe before. Is this related?
Yes! To the best of our knowledge, the Warwick Student Arts Festival used to be a yearly event, however this last ran in 2015. We're looking at reviving this again in 2024, with a completely new team.
