Introducing...Will Vant!

Will: During my time as a Comedy Writing and Performance student, I developed a passion for creating mockumentaries and this is something I plan to continue creating thanks to the Graduate Scholarship.

Introducing...Kira Roscoe and Romeo Voda!

Kira: I studied Theatre and Performance Practice. My time on the course has been full of exciting and formative experiences that have really shaped who I am as an artist. I’ve grown through collaboration, experimentation, and the chance to be part of work that feels meaningful and alive.

Receiving this Graduate Scholarship feels incredibly special and this scholarship has helped us get the chance to take our group performance to the International Theatre Festival of Sibiu (FITS) in Romania. Being able to take our work abroad and share it with international audiences is both exciting and inspiring.

Romeo: Coming from Theatre and Performance Practice, I have gained all the necessary knowledge and tools to understand the multifaceted nature of theatre. Thanks to the support of this Graduate Scholarship, my team and I can apply what we have learned during our time at the University of Salford. While showcasing our creativity and professionalism at FITS (Festival International of Theatre Sibiu), we are also excited to be in a creative environment where we can further expand our understanding alongside fellow theatre actors.

Introducing...Frankie Corless!

Frankie: I'm truly honoured to have been awarded this Graduate Scholarship. During my time studying Theatre and Performance Practice, I have developed my practice as a Producer, Theatre Maker and Director, building a growing body of work that represents my artistic voice. I have also recently established my theatre company, Empirical, with my Co-Director April Wright.

Currently, I am developing a new live work that explores themes of processing grief and loss through dance, music and rave culture. This project combines an original score with movement and digital elements. Early R&D will be supported by the Graduate Scholarship, and I can't wait to share my work later this year.

I am excited to continue progressing towards a varied career within the arts, and I am looking forward to future learning, networking, and creative opportunities. I am thankful to the Staff and Donors who have made this Graduate Scholarship possible.

⭐ Supported Artists 2026-27 ⭐

Introducing...Alfie Naylor and Rose Pennington!

Alfie and Rose: We both studied Theatre and Performance Practice and had an amazing time during our three years at Salford. To receive this prestigious award is testament to how brilliant the opportunities at this institution are.

We are so lucky and privileged to be given the chance to work as this year’s Associate Artists, where we will attempt to create a brand-new theatre production Dead Funny. This dark comedy drama will be a concoction of everything we have learnt at university, fusing together experimental, post-dramatic, contemporary theatre practices and testing the boundaries of traditional humour in a non-linear format, which we hope to take on tour!

We are thrilled to be awarded this Graduate Scholarship and are so thankful to everyone who has helped us in our journey and cannot wait to share this exciting, new project.

⭐ Supported Artists 2026-27 ⭐

Introducing...Daniel Mahon!

Daniel: I’m a Manchester-based creative artist and studied Comedy Writing and Performance. My creative journey has taken in music, comedy, writing, performance, sound design and short film work. Returning to education as a mature student has been a huge personal and artistic step and completing the degree while developing new work has given me a stronger sense of direction and confidence.

Receiving the Graduate Scholarship means a great deal to me, not only as recognition of the work so far, but as support to keep building from here. During my time as an Associate Artist, I want to develop character-led comedy, podcast/radio work, sound-led performance and new writing, while continuing to explore how my background in music and lived experience can shape honest, funny and distinctive creative work.

⭐ Supported Artists 2026-27 ⭐

Introducing...Gabriel Keogh and Alfie Randell!

Gabriel: I studied Theatre and Performance Practice. This summer I will take The Confession, which I've co-written, co-directed and co-starred in alongside Alfie Randell, to the Greater Manchester Fringe.

As an Associate Artist, the Graduate Scholarship will allow us to not only develop The Confession further and take it to new audiences but also will allow us to develop new work in our style. I feel incredibly grateful and thankful to receive this Graduate Scholarship. I'm absolutely buzzing about it, it is massively encouraging for us as artists, and I can't wait to get to work.

Alfie: I studied Theatre and Performance Practice and have recently discovered a passion for writing. During my final year, I created a Debut Festival show raising awareness about an issue that is very important to both me and my co-writer: men’s mental health.

As a group, we feel there is not enough awareness around this topic, and we are committed to addressing something we deeply care about. This is a passion project we're thrilled to finally share with a wider audience.

1 WEEK TO GO - Emergence, the touring postgraduate dance company of Joss Arnott Dance and University of Salford presents a new triple bill of adrenaline-fuelled dance for this year’s programme performed by a new company of extraordinary dancers all set to new, originally composed music.

Check out this BTS footage of Artistic Director Joss Arnott and Lisa Marie Robinson’s restaging of Euphoria, a work that pulses with Arnott’s signature, high-voltage movement language and driven by an electrifying soundtrack from composer James Keane, whose music propels the work with both urgency and exhilaration. This dynamic piece delves into the tangled terrain of ego, its fragility, its fire, and the transformative journey that can lead us toward euphoria.

GET YOUR TICKETS - Emergence, the touring postgraduate dance company of Joss Arnott Dance and the University of Salford, presents a brand-new, triple bill programme of adrenaline-fuelled dance performed by a new company of extraordinary dancers.

Check out this BTS footage of Faye Stoeser’s Rapture, a charged new work that dives deep into the pulse of club culture. Known for infusing her choreography with this theme, Faye pushes further this time, exploring the moment when fun fractures into chaos. What happens when fun goes too far? Where does exhilaration become something darker? Yet even in the shadows, Rapture finds celebration—liberation bursting through the cracks. Drawing from Faye’s rich movement background in new way voguing, commercial, and contemporary dance, the piece weaves these vocabularies with the raw individuality of the Emergence 2026 dancers, shaping a world that feels both intensely personal and wildly collective.

📍 New Adelphi Theatre, M5 4BR
