Griffin Independent Submissions

2013 SUBMISSIONS CLOSE 14 APRIL 2012

Submissions for the 2013 Griffin Independent season are now open.

WHAT IS GRIFFIN INDEPENDENT?

Griffin Independent is Griffin’s annual season of red hot new writing co-presented with the country’s most exciting independent theatre-makers. Griffin Independent stages the best new writing, both Australian and international, by the best independent artists.

Running in parallel to Griffin’s own main season of new Australian plays, Griffin Independent aims to bridge the independent and main stage sectors and to provide our top independent theatre makers with the best opportunities and support. In 2011, Griffin launched the Main and Independent seasons at the same time, and in 2012, we included the Independent and Main seasons in the one brochure. This has resulted in a significant increase in exposure and sales for independent productions.

In 2013, to ensure that Griffin Independent remains the first choice space for independent artists, the company will again launch the two seasons together and in the same brochure. It will also continue to increase the level of artistic support from the core Griffin artistic team, including the Artistic Director.  It’s a great time to be involved in the programme.
