The regular meet ups allowed to build enriching and creative relationships within the cohort that I am still benefiting from. The backdrop of the theatre shows was also a good way to connect and engage with what was being programmed in the western suburbs” Participant of 2019 DOP program

Being part of POP was a wonderful experience. It allowed me to connect with other local artists, and gain insight into the artistic processes of writers, directors and dramaturg“.  Lana – Participant of 2018 POP program

“Through POP, I had access to theatre practitioners who explained how they managed to develop their works and how they overcame challenges in mounting their productions. Viewing those productions also incidentally has given me ideas for adept use of ancillary elements such as staging, lighting, sounds effects etc… particularly on a small budget.” Summer – Participant of 2017 POP program
