Festival of Australian Student Theatre 2015
Get a glimpse the future of theatre without a crystal ball.
Overview
Welcome to the future of theatre. Don't expect robots, hoverboards and other sci-fi-like technology, though. Do expect the next wave of performers and other practitioners.
They're all on display at the Festival of Australian Student Theatre, which brings high school students, tertiary students, recent graduates, emerging artists and independent companies together to showcase their work. Pretend you're at a house party, tap into your primal instincts, witness fairy tales come to life and take another look at Disney's murderesses— and that's just a taste of the program's 30 offerings.
Over the long weekend, you can revel in all this and more, with the latter part of the equation including Q&A sessions, forums and hanging out at the festival hub. For those passionate about live performance and keen to get a glimpse of the stage shows to come, it's better than gazing into a crystal ball. It's also the only way to spend the long weekend immersed in your chosen art form.
