Imperial students get creative for ArtsFest 2010. ArtsFest 2010 showcases student creativity at Imperial withc oncerts, exhibitions and dance and drama workshops - %0A " - Monday 22 February 2010 - By Abigail Smith Imperial students unleash their creative side today for Imperial College Union's annual ArtsFest, a week-long event designed to showcase the wealth of talent to be found on the College's campuses. The week will see free demonstrations and workshops across the South Kensington campus, covering activities from drama to belly dancing, which aim to give a flavour of what Imperial students get up to in their spare time and encouage more people to explore their artistic abilities. Organiser Mohammad Aboljadayel, a Department of Computing student, explains: "I was recently told by an Imperial student that you are either good at art or good at science, and you would be surprised at how many people continue to believe that. ArtsFest tries to dismiss that myth of separation by bringing art to the people instead of waiting for them to come to it." With over 30 of the College's 300 clubs and societies focusing on arts and entertainment, ArtsFest is able to offer a wide array of taster events to students and staf. Music will play a major role throughout the week, with sessions including rock and jazz, classical guitar and a workshop by Techtonics, a popular student a capella band. The College's Sinfonietta, symphony and wind orchestras will also give concerts.
