Launching on 20 May, the work has been designed by the students to showcase how their ideas can shape the creative outcome of theatre and other environmental surroundings.
Imaginative creations on display will include life drawings, costumes and various stage designs which reflect the skills students have developed on their degrees. The exhibition is also a way for students to showcase their talents to potential employers.
Lauren McGowan, who is in her third year on the Design for Performance programme and has led on the project, said, "It is the first time we have organised an exhibition to showcase our creations. We felt it was something we'd really like to do to gain recognition for our work and allow us to use our own creative ideas that will hopefully inspire others. Those who visit the exhibition will enjoy an exciting visual experience which I'm sure they will like.
"I'm hoping that this becomes an annual event to raise the profile of the University and the work of the students. It is exposure to potential employers and allows us to take pride in our work and show the industry what we're capable of."
The exhibition is open to the public and is open from 9am to 5pm in Hale Hall on the Ormskirk campus until 25 May.
Both the BA (Hons) Design for Performance and BA (Hons) Visual Theatre courses at Edge Hill University aim to nurture individual potential, allowing students to gain experience in varied approaches to design, visual theatre and contemporary performance practices.
