Geelong\u2019s Courthouse Youth Arts (CHYA) has launched a new performance program in a move to champion emerging artists who are unafraid of taking contemporary risks. <\/p>\n

The new Creative Development Program has been described as an \u201congoing initiative\u201d, a chance to give rising talents the tools to produce experimental and thought-provoking performance art for the region. <\/p>\n

While its objective is explicit, the Creative Development Program also signals a new direction for CHYA, with next year\u2019s program launch locked in for November 26. <\/p>\n

Successful applicants from the first round include Kate Speakman, Louise Richardson and James Jackson. Courthouse Youth Arts\u2019 producer Joshua Allen said the association was proud to support the three artists at a \u201cburgeoning stage\u201d in their careers. <\/p>\n

\u201cCourthouse Youth Arts\u2019 Creative Development Program was created in direct response to the lack of opportunities for young performance makers in Geelong, and the uncertainty of ongoing support provided to emerging playwrights by peak organisations such as Playwriting Australia and Australian Plays,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

\u201cDuring an unstable political and arts funding climate, there is a significant need to support emerging performance makers in taking creative risks and to present audiences with socially challenging work that might otherwise go unmissed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Performances selected as part of the program include an ensemble about space exploration and climate change, a solo work on grief and loss, and a \u201cmakeshift\u201d United Nations\u2019 assembly which will see performers interact with the audience in an attempt to \u201cfix\u201d the future.<\/p>\n

The projects will be developed between now and November. Each artist will receive in-kind venue hire, marketing and producing support, and the potential for their work to be presented in 2020.<\/p>\n
