Developing & connecting 5 early-mid career regional actors.


Dates: 09 - 13 January 2011

Playwright: Finegan Kruckemeyer

Dramaturg: Peter Matheson

Director: Suellen Maunder

Performers: Ella Watson-Russell; Anthony Ring; Christiaan Westerveld; Laura Pegrum and Natalie Taylor

JUTE’s annual open auditions in 2010 uncovered 5 young actors (20 – 30 yrs) who are at the early-mid stages of their professional career.  JUTE could not ignore this gift of exciting young performers and have created a program to get them developing and performing work.  The Next G program is also about getting them connected to the sector outside of this region to broaden their career opportunities.  The first stage is to connect them with a performance writer who is gaining national and international acclaim for their work.   Then from the 9th till the 13th of January 2011, we will put the writer and the 5 performers (the next generation) in a room with a director and dramaturg and a range of provocations, to develop a work around their unique perspectives. This work will be produced in 2012 as part of the JUTE 2012 Celebrations Program.
