Our Regional Industry Education Partnerships program brought young people from schools across the region together for a performing arts industry immersion.
Talented young artists worked alongside industry professionals across dance, lighting design, costume design, and sound design.

Participants built practical career skills and experienced what it’s really like to present live performance. From developing artistic CVs and bios to collaborating on an original performance outcome, the week was all about exploring the pathways into the creative industries and discovering new possibilities.

Many thanks to our facilitating artists Sam Martin Kyle Wilson Patrick Meessmann Yaya Wigs Gerry Corcoran Chris Wade

Regional Industry Education Partnerships Program is funded by the NSW Department of Education.
