Griffin Studio

2012 APPLICATIONS NOW CLOSED

ABOUT THE GRIFFIN STUDIO
The Griffin Studio is a place where the country’s most exciting theatre artists come together to hone their craft, gain vital experience inside a company, establish new collaborations, and work to create the best new Australian theatre.

Over one year, four artists will become part of the inner working life of Griffin: writing, dramaturging, directing, assistant directing, curating, and assisting in programing the company’s main and independent seasons.

But, most importantly, the members of the studio will be creating work for the Griffin (and the Australian) stage.

THE DEAL

  • Development, in collaboration with other Studio members, of a full-length work

  • Development of a work for presentation during the Festival of New Writing

  • Curation of a Between the Lines Event

  • Attendance at programming committee meetings
