Free Theatre members and students of University of Canterbury's Theatre & Film Studies Department protest a proposal to close our programme because our work wasn't considered by Vice-Chancellor Roy Sharp and Pro Vice Chancellor for the Arts Ken Strongman to be "core" to the University.
Efforts from students, staff and public pressure saved the department.
Students also used performance to protest the next attempt to disestablish the Theatre & Film Studies programme four years later in 2012 with the Big Heads Protest, see here.
