State Exchange
fostering creative relationships across state and territory boundaries
Australia's great size isn't always conducive to great collaborations. Through the state exchange programme, PlayWriting Australia supports artists working across state and territory boundaries by contributing to travel and accommodation expenses.
Whether for a Tasmanian playwright who has found the perfect dramaturg in Cairns, or for an independent theatre company in Fremantle who wants to create a piece of verbatim theatre with an expert Sydney playwright, a state exchange grant can help make it happen.
Applications are invited twice during the year for activity to take place within the following session. Proposed activities must support the further development of a new Australian theatre work and must include one member of the creative team with at least one professional production credit. State exchange grants are available to a maximum of $2,000 for support of travel and accommodation costs only.
