Are you interested in teaching Contemporary Indigenous Theatre? Bunjil Place's new Education program sends a Teacher and Theatre Practitioner to your school to run an immersive workshop with your students.
Learn how to explore Contemporary Indigenous Theatre. These in-school workshops will support your drama teaching and will be delivered by First Nations and non-Indigenous practitioners. Teachers will experience ways First Nations theatre practitioners approach creating drama through devising, script development, and collaborative work.
Your students will learn how First Nations practitioners create, develop, and perform theatre that explores differing viewpoints.
