First Nations Playwrights Retreat – Behind the Scenes
Our Australian First Nations Playwrights Retreat 2024 is over!
Six playwrights – Alexis West, Nicola Ingram, Jada Alberts, John Harding, Jenny Fraser, and Bjorn Stewart – and two dramaturgs – Glenn Shea and Shari Indriani Irwin – recently spent ten days as artists in residence at Bundanon; thinking, writing, and developing new plays for the stage.
Fuelling the writing process was Blak Cede Gunyah in Nowra with their beautiful food. You must check them out.
We’re looking forward to sharing more from our playwrights about their time here, so keep your eyes peeled over the coming weeks!
