Seeking emerging theatre designers and technicians
The Bump In Project is seeking applications from Victorian emerging theatre designers and technicians.
This is a two-year project which aims to assist Victorian emerging theatre workers. I know from experience that getting into the professional Melbourne theatre scene is tough – not just for actors, but for techies too. And so in 2008 and 2009 I am trialing a pilot program which will assist local artists to get involved on a professional level.
The Bump In Project is offered in two parts. The first – Round A - is a mentorship in 2008 for one emerging theatre designer or technician. The second – Round B - is a grant, which will go towards subsidising a Victorian emerging group or individual performance during the 2009 Melbourne Fringe Festival.
The Bump In Project aims to:
encourage ongoing participation in the professional theatre industry by Victorian emerging artists
encourage new and original Australian performance
aid in developing high quality local productions
aid in the development of skills and experience for local performers and technicians
I am currently seeking applications for the 2008 Round A mentorship. It is specifically aimed at high school or university students, as well as recent graduates.
