Creative Opportunity: Regional Theatre Skills Development and Touring Program
JUTE Theatre Company
Build Back Better seeks to re-invigorate regional theatre through strategies that build cross-regional professional theatre skills, renews networks of regional artists and theatre makers, and creates employment and touring opportunities.
JUTE Theatre Company leads the project, partnering, consulting and collaborating with Queensland regional and Northern Territory producers, theatre-makers, and the Regional Arts Service Network.
STAGE 2 of this exiting new program is currently accepting expressions of interest from theatre artists, theatre-makers and theatre arts workers based in regional Queensland and Northern Territory who would like to be part of the skills development and training program. There are 9 areas of training, many of which are delivered online, all of which are aimed to bring together professional regional artists and theatre makers to learn from each other and create relationships that will result in strong cross-regional projects and employment into the future.
The 9 areas of learning or PODs (POD – Programs of Development) are: Writing for Stage/Dramaturgy, Working with First Nations People, Directing For Stage, StageCombat/Fight Direction, Lighting Design, Set Design, Technical Production, Stage Management, Theatre Arts Administration. Read more about each POD in our downloadable Build Back Better Skills and Training document.
Joining a POD is free. In fact in most cases, you will actually be paid a nominal fee to be involved. You may express in interest in as many PODs as you like. The only requirement is that you are based in a regional area, are professionally engaged in the theatre sector and have reliable internet access
An initiative of JUTE Theatre Company in collaboration with regional theatre companies, arts organisations and artists across Queensland and Northern Territory with funding from Regional Arts Fund
