Mentorships
Being a writer is a practical as well as a creative profession. The Stages Mentorship Program provides an opportunity for Western Australian theatre companies to build relationships with emerging and established local writers, and for playwrights to develop a more symbiotic and practical understanding of companies’ artistic policies and visions, planning and scheduling requirements, funding restrictions and resources capabilities, as well as production and rehearsal practices. Stages has worked with Deckchair Theatre, Black Swan Theatre Company, Spare Parts Puppet Theatre and Barking Gecko Theatre Company on mentorship programs. The mentorships last for up to 12 months and are advertised when they become available.
