Space to learn

IATL manage a number of teaching and learning spaces on campus including the Humanities Studio (a black box theatre space). Students sucessfully awarded with a Student as Producer (Performance) grant are able to make authorised advance bookings of these spaces for workshops, rehersals and performances related to their funded project.
