WORDS IN MOTION: New Plays Development is a collaborative program between APT, the nation’s leading organisation dedicated to supporting playwriting, Black Swan State Theatre Company, The Blue Room Theatre and Encounter Theatre.
This pilot program enables five emerging and mid-career Western Australian playwrights to develop unproduced plays through a two-week intensive script development process.
Playwrights will work closely with established directors, actors and a dramaturg to workshop their plays in a series of “in-room” development days, honing their skills and diving deep into their plays through hands-on, in-depth analysis. The program will culminate in a public showcase of new works at The Blue Room Theatre.
Dedicated to nurturing local stories and content, Words In Motion is a vital part of creating production-ready, world-class plays and equips playwrights to prepare their work for success on local, national, and global stages.
