Submissions for an exciting creative development opportunity for emerging and experienced playwrights who call Port Phillip home.
To be presented in partnership with Melbourne Writers’ Theatre, the free Gasworks Script Lab will once again be delivered on-site at Gasworks Arts Park.
Participants will attend a series of writing workshops before further developing their new scripts in sessions with professional directors and actors. The program will culminate in two Script Showcases to be presented on stage to the public on October 22 and 23.
The Emerging stream, to be facilitated by short play enthusiast and teacher Michael Olsen, will cater for up to 10 aspiring writers who have never written for the stage but are interested in exploring the craft of playwriting. Participants will be guided to write a short play from scratch.
In the Experienced stream, to be led by award-winning playwright and theatre-maker Laura Lethlean, up to six playwrights with one or more production credits will receive dramaturgical support to further develop the full-length play they are currently working on.
Participants must be available to attend all of the program sessions.
