Applications are now open for Malthouse Theatre’s Besen Emerging Writers Group and—new this year—Besen Emerging Dramaturgs Group as part of an ongoing committment to providing artist development opportunities for emerging and early career artists.
Both programs are structured as a series of regular group sessions, where participants will be mentored by New Work Manager Bernadette Fam. The two programs are designed to occur alongside one another and will culminate in a final intensive where the writers and dramaturgs will have the opportunity to work with each other. The Besen Family Artist Program and Writers Groups are proudly supported by the Besen Family Foundation and Debbie Dadon AM.
Recent alumni of the Besen Emerging Writers Group include Ra Chapman (K-BOX, 2022), Aran Than garatnam (Stay Woke, 2022), Vidya Rajan (Looking For Alibrandi, 2022), and Alistair Baldwin (Telethon Kid, 2023).
Malthouse Theatre New Work Manager Bernadette Fam:
I am delighted to be facilitating the Besen Emerging Writers Group and Besen Emerging Dramaturgs Group this year. These programs are a vital pathway for emerging artists to build on their craft, develop their toolkits, and foster creative connections. The practices of Writing and Dramaturgy can often feel isolating, and so I am excited to deliver a program where participants are able to engage in a meaningful knowledge exchange with one another.
Further information and applications to participate in the Emerging Writers and Dramaturg Groups
are now open via written or video submission at malthousetheatre.com.au.
Applications must be submitted by 11.59pm on Sunday 30 July 2023 and applicants must be available to participate from 30 August to 4 November 2023.
