Graphic for Critical Conversations event
Presented by some of Darwin’s leading arts organisations

What comes first: the ‘art’ or the ‘audience’? This evening Critical Conversations gives the platform to commercial comedians who consider risk, audience and art and the ability to pay their bills when they create their shows. Like a punchier version of Sliding Doors, 3 comedians will share material they create with their audiences in mind followed by the material they really want to do, before a candid, and (likely) hilarious dive into the topic: Audience < Art ? In an age where everything is ‘artist-led’ and financial risk is subsidised by the government, have we forgotten our audiences? If audiences are considered first, does the work actually become ‘less risky’? Join Amy Hetherington, Richard Fejo, Albert Belz and Brown’s Mart to set fire to this triggering topic!

Presented with Australian Theatre for Young People

Over 18 years, ATYP’s Fresh Ink Program has mentored 179 writers across the country. This year, ATYP was thrilled to partner with Brown's Mart to mentor four playwrights (under the guidance of Ciella Lee and Kate Wyvill) as part of this program, to hone their skills, build their writing community and produce two short works for the stage. Please join us to watch the reading of their brand new half hour plays. It's an exciting chance to see four brand new Australian plays written by emerging playwrights.
