PLAY HAVOC

DONNA ABELA AND HILARY BELL TO RUN A WEEKEND PLAYWRITING WORKSHOP

Join acclaimed playwrights Donna Abela (‘Jump For Jordan’) and Hilary Bell (‘Wolf Lullaby’) for PLAY HAVOC, a weekend of wild and playful writing exercises, designed to open up your head, get out of your own way, and explore numerous entry points into creativity. With a focus on impulse, exploration, curiosity and surprise, you’ll leave with the beginnings of a brand new play, and the know-how to take it to a first draft.

As a bonus, producer Stephen Carnell will provide insider experience on how to get your play from page to stage.

Plus a one hour Q&A with all involved.

CLASS SIZE: 12 maximum on a first paid basis.

COST $280 or $250 for Actors Anonymous members.

BOOKING: Just join this event (see email address below), then simply make an EFT payment to producer Blancmange Productions' bank BSB 032032 A/C 209972. Then you're booked in and you'll receive a confirmation email and workshop agenda.

The PLAY HAVOC workshop runs 10-4pm Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 November on the top floor of a magnificent sandstone warehouse where our next production 'We Are The Ghosts Of The Future' will open in the The Rocks Village Bizarre over two weeks and three weekends from Friday 13 to Saturday 29 November.

All workshop attendees will receive a complimentary ticket to this performance.

NOTE: All funds raised from this weekend workshop will go to support the production of 7-ON's We Are The Ghosts Of The Future directed by Harriet Gillies (watch this space for more details!). The drama is set on 13th November 1935, the day Australia's beloved aviator Charles Kingsford Smith was declared missing.

About 7-ON

7-ON Playwrights was established in 2005 by Donna Abela, Catherine Zimdahl, Ned Manning, Noëlle Janaczewska, Vanessa Bates, Verity Laughton and Hilary Bell. Seven minds that don’t think alike but are simpatico in this—our belief in the transformative properties of our artform and its place in Australian culture. With over 200 plays between us, our work has been produced on stages across Australia. Internationally, we have been produced in Botswana, the US, the UK, the Czech Republic, Sweden, Hong Kong, Ireland, New Zealand, Germany, Denmark, France, Canada, Vietnam, Korea and Japan. We have over 40 awards between us including: 14 Australian Writers’ Guild Awards, 4 Griffin Playwriting Awards, 3 Premiers’ Literary Awards, 4 Inscription Awards, an Adelaide Critics’ Circle Prize, a Phillip Parsons Young Playwright’s Award, a Wyndham Campbell Prize, a Centenary Medal, a Patrick White Playwrights’ Fellowship, and a Human Rights Award for Drama. As 7-ON we advocate for playwrights, initiate performance and publishing projects, and support and celebrate each other’s work. We create projects that are best served by a multitude of voices. These have included The Seven Needs (Griffin, 2007), Thus Spake Zarathustra (Wollongong University, 2008), Long Shadows (STC workshop, 2009), Platonic (Hothouse development, 2013), We Are The Ghosts Of The Future (Rocks Discovery Museum, 2015), and various works under the banner of Old Texts Revisited (ABC Radio, 2009), I Contain Multitudes (Novemberism Playwriting Festival, 2011) and No Nudity, Weapons or Naked Flames (MayDay! Playwrights’ Festival, 2013) which presented a selection of monologues from our anthology of the same name published by the Federation Press in 2012. We are also included in Currency Press’ anthology of short plays Short Circuit (2009).
