Our friends at Critical Stages are launching a new playwriting program in partnership with the UK’s Paines Plough: Come To Where I Am - Australia

Australian-based writers are invited to create a new 10 minute story that could be made into a short video postcard performed by the author – a snapshot of what it is like to live in their part of the country right now. They may be autobiographical or new works of fiction, and should reflect what is special to them about the character of their hometown. A writer’s fee is attached to each selected work.

The project will provide professional outcomes for seven regional artists from around Australia, giving voice to their experiences over this extraordinary year of bushfires and Covid-19, and provide a snapshot of their experience living in regional, rural or remote parts of the country. Come To Where I Am will invite audiences to travel, virtually, at a time when visiting these communities is impossible.

Find out all the details, and how to submit an EOI, at http://criticalstages.com.au/artists/
