The Western Australian Youth Theatre Company and The City of Perth Proudly Present

BLOOD
Directed by Phil Tnomson

A WAYTCO ensemble of actors and writers have been successfully generating an exciting new theatre work, BLOOD, that will premier at the YY Space, 65 Murray Street PERTH form November 28 - December 13.

BLOOD tells the story of an imaginary theatre company as they prepare to pitch their new play "River of Life" to win the chance to open Perth's new Heath Ledger Theatre. This group od Perth's leading young theatre practioners struggle with their creative ideals and clash or egos as they develop a script that celebrates the potency of blood as a life saver, as a cause of war and a symbol of family. However the creative process is not their only obstacle... on the other side of the worls a new blood contagion is rapidly spreading.

Will they will the pitch and open the "Ledge"? Can artistic integrety triump over commercial demands? Can team work overcome the impossible? Must the "show go on" when the world is in danger? Does it take a disaster for the majority of people to donate blood? Do zombies really exist? All these questions are answered in an exposion of humour, drama and horror.

Created under the mentorship or WAYTCo Artistic Director Phil Thomson, Blood is the first of a trilogy of new works by the company, with SWEAT and TEARS to be performed in 2009 and 2010.

Developmental Work 2009a

Sweat
Directed by Phil Thomson

Members of the WA Youth Theatre Co will create a new work to show atYirra Yaakin Theatre, Perth in November / December 2009.

The development of original work is fundamental to a thriving theatre culture. The creation of localised, immediate, relevant contemporary work allows young performers to use their own voices and vision. It empowers them to own their art, and offers a variety of work possibilities in later years.

Workshops will be held in 2009 to further develop SWEAT, the second play in the trilogy with auditions to be held in September 2009 for an ensemble cast of actors to present late in term four.

Register now for writing workshops to be held at the King Street Arts Centre 19 -23 January 2009. No writing experience necessary and you don’t need to attend every day. Email info@wayouthtehatre.org.au to register your interest and then bring along your ideas!.
