Fifteen regional theatre makers. Three days. One fantastic experience.
Earlier this month, artists from ten Queensland regions gathered in Cairns for the DARTS Skills Development Intensives — three days of learning, collaboration and connection.
Led by Emma-June Curik (Access & Inclusion), Timothy Wynn (Directing) and JUTE’s own Kathryn Ash (Dramaturgy), the weekend championed skill-sharing and regional creativity in action.
DARTS is JUTE’s artist-led initiative to Drive and Activate the Regional Theatre Sector, empowering artists to connect and collaborate to build a thriving regional theatre sector for all Queenslanders.
Huge thanks to our amazing facilitators and participants for making it such an inspiring few days.
