Western Theatrical Types-- FUNDING!

For all you divas out there:

The Western Australian Theatre Development Initiative is launched!

Artrage, The Blue Room and PICA are pleased to announce the launch of the Western Australian Theatre Development Initiative (WATDI) - a new funding program that aims to change the face of theatre in WA. Backed by the Australia Council Theatre Board, this program will fund the development of new theatre practice by WA independent artists, companies, collectives and collaborations looking to take creative risks and explore new territory, unencumbered by the pressures of a pre-set production and presentation plan. WATDI is for the entire WA independent theatre sector, across the spectrum of practice, interests and experience. It's an initiative that's all about the creation of sophisticated and ambitious new theatre practice, born through the kind of development support that artists long for, but very rarely have an opportunity to experience.
