About the Project SKIN
SKIN is a vividly fantastical exploration of a complex phase in life: the transition into adulthood, when young adults are exploring risk, danger, drugs, and sexuality. SKIN shifts between realities, between fantasy, dreams, and altered states, conjuring a world rarely seen on our stages: an exciting, terrifying world that defies logic, the logic of adulthood, anyhow.
Audition Process & Dates: Tue 10 – Sat 14 May
Audition and Training Workshop will start Tuesday 10 May (10am – 4pm), with selected participants called back for Wednesday 11 May (10am – 4pm).
A small number will be selected for a paid three day Creative Development, Thurs 12 to Sat 14 May. Those selected for the creative development will be paid a wage for those three days following the audition/training days. This stage will lead to a future creative development of SKIN in July / August, and further development and premiere of the final production at a later date.
Location: Bankstown Arts Centre, 5 Olympic Parade Bankstown (5 min walk to Railway Station)
