The Advance Party: After the Bubble - Contemporary Japanese Theatre (NSW)

WHEN Wednesday 12 May, 7.30pm sharp
WHERE Wharf 2 Theatre, Sydney Theatre Company

"A special Advance Party presentation. Over the last 40 years, huge changes have occurred in Japanese theatre. Affecting its theatre practitioners in every area of expertise, in both traditional and contemporary fields, it has set innumerable challenges for them to cope with in their working lives. In this special forum, presented with the support of The Japan Foundation, Dr Peter Eckersall (Senior Lecturer, University of Melbourne and leading researcher in contemporary Japanese theatre) will take us through these changes, and identify some of the very real parallels for Australian theatre practitioners today.

THE ADVANCE PARTY is the bimonthly forum for playwrights, and those interested in the art of playwriting. Evening sessions are interactive, incorporating staged readings, guest speakers, and performance to provoke further discussion.

To reserve seats for THE ADVANCE PARTY (LIMITED tickets cost $5 each)
