Join the creative teams behind CLOUD BANK and USB for a behind-the-scenes look at how they developed, utilised, and imagined the innovative tech behind this year’s festival shows.

🔼 ON WRITING. Saturday, October 17. Hosted by Shock Therapy Arts.
Join the playwrights behind HEMINGWAY, SUSIE S*X BINGE, OUR DOG COMET, THE RATTURE! and AN AS*XUAL’S GUIDE TO LOVE & S*X for a chat about the highs and lows of writing their own work for the stage, what they learned from the process, and how you can do it all too.

These are open conversations with artists about their work, how they make it, and everything that happens along the way.

All talks are free.
