Commencing from the 8th to 13th of February 2027, it is a week-long art jam for creative people to try new performance-based art forms โ€“ badly. Over the course of a week at PYT Fairfield, solo participants will be paired with creative mentors to learn and develop a new work. Whether itโ€™s performing, filming, writing, whatever - you donโ€™t have to be good, you just need to try.

The program will culminate in a fabulous Flop Night where you get to perform and present your work. Celebrate learning, trying and the bravery of failing.

The program will also have opportunities that are open beyond the selected artists and to the wider community. This includes skill-building masterclasses led by different industry mentors as well as a speed date mentorship day.

โญ We are now officially halfway through our ๐—ข๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜† workshops, which have been in collaboration with Milk Crate Theatre. Co-facilitated by Bedelia Lowrenฤev, Miranda Aguilar & William Uy Vu Le, the recent workshops saw us doing physical movement embodying different character archetypes like the Hero, the Shadow, and the Trickster, as well as chatting about tropes and character arcs.

๐ŸŒŸ We also did an exercise layering conflict, based off the following writing advice from Phoebe Waller-Bridge: always try to give a character three things to juggle in any given scene. E.g. theyโ€™re trying to order a sandwich, the deli is unbearably hot, and theyโ€™re trying very hard not to let on that they plan to rob the bank down the street in twenty minutes.

๐ŸŒ  Furthermore we chatted through options and tools for combatting writer's block. This included rest, giving ourselves permission to make bad art as well as talking with a trusted person. Participants also took time to workshop on what they wanted to work on for the eventual Scratch Night.

โœฉยฐ๏ฝกโ‹†โธœ ๐Ÿ—ฏโœฎโ‚ŠหšโŠน

โœจ We can't wait to continue the fun at the next workshop! See you all again soon.

Please note that the program is currently full. The workshops will culminate in a closed Scratch Night event which is a low-pressure opportunity for a fun works-in-progress showing for friends and family. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Miranda Aguilar at [email protected]

It is a workshop in progress, with an opportunity for participants to feedback and shape future workshop offerings on this theme.

It is open to anyone over 16 years old, who wants to experiment with art, try out movement and of course those who are into all things mystical/witchy. We especially encourage folks who identify as being q***r and/or femme to come along.

๐Ÿ‘ป For the spooky season our upcoming workshop will be focusing on junk journal spreads about facing your fears. Heights, spiders, claustrophobia etc is maybe (marginally) less scary when you make them into art.

CuriousWorks and PYT Fairfield invites Expressions of Interest from creative folks for Trash Art Bash: Permission to Flop.

Flop eras are necessary. Let us explain.

The best way for someone to eventually excel at their art form is to fail fast and learn from their failures. However, this is easier said than done. From time to resources to expenses, there are plenty of factors that prevent folks from this.

This is why CuriousWorks and PYT Fairfield have partnered together for our new and upcoming initiative โ€“ Trash Art Bash: Permission to Flop. Yep, you read that right. This is your sign to flop and unleash your inner performer.

Commencing from the 8th to 13th of February 2027, it is a week-long art jam for creative people to try new performance-based art forms โ€“ badly. Over the course of a week at PYT Fairfield, solo participants will be paired with creative mentors to learn and develop a new work. Whether itโ€™s performing, filming, writing, whatever - you donโ€™t have to be good, you just need to try.

The program will culminate in a fabulous Flop Night where you get to perform and present your work. Celebrate learning, trying and the bravery of failing.

The program will also have opportunities that are open beyond the selected artists and to the wider community. This includes skill-building masterclasses led by different industry mentors as well as a speed date mentorship day.

Applications close at 3pm, Monday 19th of October. For the full program details & to apply, please click here: https://curiousworks.com.au/project/trash-art-bash-permission-to-flop ๐Ÿ“

Trash Art Bash: Permission to Flop is funded by Create NSW's Creative Western Sydney Micro-Grants Program & Fairfield City Council's Creative Communities Grant.

Come and join CuriousWorks and STARTTS in Fairfield from 10am-12pm on Tuesday 29th of September to have your say in designing an intergenerational art project for the Assyrian community. This session is for Assyrian elders to chat and eat cake, whilst collaging on the themes of "what I wish I could share about my interests with younger people" and "cultural knowledges I am interested in learning from youth in my community".

This workshop is a space to come and tell us what you would like an intergenerational art project to look like, and to co-design a workshop program that will run till the end of the year. Participants will be paid for their time. We can't wait to meet you, hear your ideas, make some art, eat some cake and have fun!
