DEVELOPING THE DRAMATURG

In partnership with Australian Plays Transform (APT), Brink will be housing two dramaturgs, Alexis West and Kate Cheel, over the second half of 2024.

Developing the Dramaturg aims to increase diversity in the field of dramaturgy through skills development and placement in producing organisations. Following APT’s successful program in NSW in 2023, they have turned their focus to Kaurna Country/South Australia in 2024.

APT is committed to fostering a more inclusive and dynamic community of dramaturgs, and this initiative will help to expand the range of stories and perspectives that are brought to the stage. This program is supported by the Department of the Premier and Cabinet through Arts South Australia.

Emerging dramaturgs will receive a paid position working closely with Artistic Director Stephen Nicolazzo and playwrights Jannali Jones, Sonya Rankine, Anthony Nocera, Dan Giovannoni and Christos Tsiolkas throughout their time with Brink.

We acknowledge that the land on which we live, and work is the  traditional land of the Kaurna people and pay our respects to their  Elders - past, present and future. Brink supports the Uluru Statement from the Heart and enshrining a Voice to Parliament in the Constitution.
