A research project was commissioned by the Theatre Board of the Australia Council to examine script development organisations and survey programs in Australia theatre in 2005. The project aimed to:

  • Survey the resources currently available for the development of writing for perforamnce
  • Assess the strengths of these services and identify gaps
  • Examine best practice models in this area, both local and international, with particular focus on the institutional structures that support them
  • Make recommendations on how the Theatre Board's funds can best support the development of scripts for performance over the next five to ten years. Read the report HERE.
