About the CHANGE MAKERS Showcase
Change Makers 2023 was a thrilling three-week undergraduate showcase produced by final-year BA (Hons) Acting and Performance students as part of Sheffield Hallam University's Future Now festival of creativity.
The showcase was a celebration of the hard work, dedication, and skill of the students and was the culmination of a major final module in which they created original performances for presentation in a professional festival context.
Featuring new writing, physical theatre, storytelling, multi-media performance, scripted plays, and stand-up comedy. The showcase included the work of students from across the degree, and the launch of Overspill, a new interdisciplinary seminar series convened by Dr Sophie Swoffer. This series launched as part of the festival with a special in-conversation event with Dr. Funmi Adewole Elliott, Senior Lecturer in Dance at De Montfort University.
Event programme

Future Now is Sheffield’s festival of creativity. Through exhibitions, events, performances and screenings we ask emerging artists, designers, filmmakers, animators, writers, architects and performers to open a window into their practices and show us their - and our - futures. This is a citywide platform showcasing the work of Sheffield Hallam University’s graduating students, and we invite visitors to encounter new ways of understanding the world through art, design, architecture, film, photography, performance and writing.
