Auditions and Crew Gathering for MUST Semester One Shows
Thanks so much to everyone who auditioned for Away and The Lightning Thief. The directors were incredibly inspired by your talent and enthusiasm!

The shows have now been cast and rehearsals are beginning. If you weren't cast this time, keep an eye out for future opportunities, and if you feel like starting with something a bit more relaxed, check out our Beginners Workshop series above.

We've had unprecedented interest in crew roles and the only ones still available on these shows are for Front of House / Bar people. You must have an RSA to do this. If you do and are keen, please email Yvonne via yvonne.virsik@monash.edu and include your RSA.

There are also lots of other opportunities coming up and soon we'll start recruiting for sem two as well, so stay tuned.

Verbatim Performance Workshops - working towards creating a show with Blayne Welsh

Theatre maker Blayne Welsh is offering Monash students ongoing, flexible opportunities working towards presentations for MPAC's Kindred People project in 2026.
One will be a verbatim project offering non-Indigenous students a chance to engage deeply with Black voices. The other will be a Black specific work.

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.
Email yvonne.virsik@monash.edu you're keen to learn more.
