Community Theatre in Melbourne
Fri, 20 Mar 2009, 09:48 pmHello!
Im moving to Melbourne in August and am looking for a job in community theatre. In the UK I have worked in special needs schools, prisons,detention centres, communtiy centres etc. Does anybody know of any theatre companys that do a lot of outreach work?
Thanks!
Unfortunately I can't give
Tue, 24 Mar 2009, 09:12 amUnfortunately I can't give you many names; companies in Melbourne are very fringe and unless you are involved in TIE companies already (which I'm not) it's hard to learn about them. The only one I can think of off the top of my head is Arena Theatre Company, that does a lot of TIE stuff. They are located in Nth Melbourne. I would state however that TIE companies generally already have the people they need. and it's not something I would think that you can simply contact them and find work. The industry is much smaller here than in the UK, and that's an understatement.
