AWG invites you to join us for an online Zoom chat with two extraordinary theatre writers and performers, Ian Michael and Chris Isaacs on Thursday 1 October 2020 at 8.30pm AEST / 6.30pm AWST. We'll be exploring the challenges of creating works of theatre during COVID as well as how new technology can make devising new works remotely a possibility. So, dust off your finest evening wear for a trip to the stage, there won't be an intermission!

Black Water: Abyss is the new nail-biting sequel to the breakout killer croc thriller Black Water and AWG Queensland has managed to capture two of its key creatives, writer Sarah Smith and director Andrew Traucki, for an incisive and insightful look at the creative process of writing and making genre films, particularly that rare creature in Australian cinema – the sequel. 

Kodie Bedford talks with award-winning screenwriter Steven McGregor (Mystery Road, Sweet Country), screenwriter and playwright Jada Alberts (Cleverman, Brothers Wreck) and comedy writer and director Bjorn Stewart (Killer Native, At Home Alone Together) about their experiences in the industry, writing and collaborating processes, and the changing form of Indigenous screen and stage stories. 

Join us next Thursday as Jed Shireman-Jones from IMDbPro zooms in live from LA for a dedicated Writers’ Webinar, running you through all the features and opportunities available to Australian writers with an IMDbPro account.

AWG's Senior Industrial Officer Bryant Apolonio and playwright and journalist Melanie Tait join us next Thursday for a dedicated playwrights' industrial session, looking at the resources your Guild can provide you and how to use these resources to protect your work.
