Verbatim Performance Workshops -

working towards creating a show with Blayne Welsh
In collaboration with MUST, Indigenous Theatre Maker Blayne Welsh is offering Monash students ongoing, flexible opportunities working towards presentations for MPAC's Kindred People project in 2026. One is a verbatim project offering non-Indigenous students a chance to engage deeply with Black voices. 
We're after students interested in discovering and exploring an Indigenised Verbatim Performance practice. Based in the methodology and mentorship of Joe Salvatore, Director of NYU's Verbatim Performance Lab, this process offers a chance to connect with and engage in deep exploration of other real human beings, based on interviews and social media artefacts, as well as Deep Listening.
You don't have to be a performer, however participants will be expected to be comfortable presenting and workshopping their verbatim portrayals regularly with the rest of the group.
We're aiming to gather interested students, run some info sessions with them, and then schedule workshops with participants' availabilities in mind.
