SPECIAL PROJECT: Writers Unite!
Semester 2 2010 Workshops
Write your own short play and then have it performed in 2011!
Embark on a long distance scriptwriting journey with the young writers from other youth theatres across the country. Young playwrights will write short plays based on a chosen theme and in 2011 the youth theatre companies will perform their own and each others work. If your play is chosen by another youth theatre you may have the chance to travel to see your play performed!
Here at CYT you will be guided through the process of writing a short play from idea to final draft. You will also have the opportunity to work with the Head of Playwriting at NIDA, Jane Bodie, for an intensive workshop on your play idea, with Peter Matheson on structure and form of your writing and finally, share an amazing weekend intensive with award winning playwright Angela Betzien on working with actors and working through the re-writes! An amazing opportunity to work with some of Australia’s best!
