NSDF09 Schedule
Below is the schedule for NSDF09, including all shows, workshop slots, discussions and evening entertainments.
NSDF is split into four routes (Green, Yellow, Red and Blue) to make sure everyone gets to see every show. Workshops and all other events are open to everyone on any route. Discussions take place every lunchtime and provide a place for the whole festival to come together to debate the shows that they have watched.
