2010 New Directions Participants Announced

This week Tantrum has announced the successful applicants of the 2010 New Directions Program. Carl Gregory and Greg Gorton were selected to participate in this two-year program that will see them each work as Associate Director on one major Tantrum production in 2010 before being given the opportunity to direct for the company in 2011.

Tantrum Theatre’s inaugural New Directions Program, facilitated by Artistic Director Brendan O’Connell, is aimed solely at young people wishing to direct professionally for performance, and to further develop their skills as theatre makers.

Carl is heading to Sydney on Sunday January 24 to commence a week-long secondment with Bell Shakespeare, observing Marion Potts direct John Bell as KING LEAR!

Congratulations to Carl and Greg.

In February, two of our Emerging Writers Program participants, Sarah Gaul and Penelope Kentish, will undertake internships with Playwrighting Australia at the National Play Festival in Brisbane. For two weeks they will sit in on rehearsal rooms of new plays being developed with directors, writers and actors and will then assistant stage manage during the showcase events. Congratulations to Sarah and Penelope.
