Free Theatre Christchurch is an experimental performance company established by staff and students at Canterbury University in 1979 under the guidance of recent German arrival Peter Falkenberg.

Falkenberg founded both FTC and Theatre and Film Studies at the University and was an associate professor in the Department.He remains the FTC's artistic director.

FTC will this year lead the opening of the 2019 Christchurch Arts Festival, with a free public event over two nights that will see Oxford Terrace and Ōtākaro, the Avon River, transformed into a carnival of street-party revelry - featuring light, sound, music and performance.  Details here.
