7-ON PLAYWRIGHTS: Linky Love

Linky Love

This is some stuff we've had a look at recently.

Click and enjoy...

Spain’s ‘micro theatre’ – it pays, it plays, it works. We like the sound of this but then we always did like the idea of writing plays for non-theatrical spaces.

OK yes this is not playwriting exactly and also a coupla years past but come on people. It’s the Buffy man! Plus it’s good stuff for any kind of writer. Joss Whedon shares some love:

This short piece on the NNPN blog by InterAct Producing AD Seth Rozin– he and US playwrights Steve Yockey and Carson Kreitzer were in Perth recently for the Playwriting Australia festival. Seth's take on the Australian (esp Sydney's) theatre industry plus the festival and other plays he saw. Busy! This man was busy!

And finally...Mike Lacher’s ‘One weird trick’ made me snort my liquid refreshment into my keyboard. Thank God it was morning and hence not the Laphroaig. (mmm peaty.)

Happy time of Too Much Chocolate.

About 7-ON

7-ON Playwrights was established in 2005 by Donna Abela, Catherine Zimdahl, Ned Manning, Noëlle Janaczewska, Vanessa Bates, Verity Laughton and Hilary Bell. Seven minds that don’t think alike but are simpatico in this—our belief in the transformative properties of our artform and its place in Australian culture. With over 200 plays between us, our work has been produced on stages across Australia. Internationally, we have been produced in Botswana, the US, the UK, the Czech Republic, Sweden, Hong Kong, Ireland, New Zealand, Germany, Denmark, France, Canada, Vietnam, Korea and Japan. We have over 40 awards between us including: 14 Australian Writers’ Guild Awards, 4 Griffin Playwriting Awards, 3 Premiers’ Literary Awards, 4 Inscription Awards, an Adelaide Critics’ Circle Prize, a Phillip Parsons Young Playwright’s Award, a Wyndham Campbell Prize, a Centenary Medal, a Patrick White Playwrights’ Fellowship, and a Human Rights Award for Drama. As 7-ON we advocate for playwrights, initiate performance and publishing projects, and support and celebrate each other’s work. We create projects that are best served by a multitude of voices. These have included The Seven Needs (Griffin, 2007), Thus Spake Zarathustra (Wollongong University, 2008), Long Shadows (STC workshop, 2009), Platonic (Hothouse development, 2013), We Are The Ghosts Of The Future (Rocks Discovery Museum, 2015), and various works under the banner of Old Texts Revisited (ABC Radio, 2009), I Contain Multitudes (Novemberism Playwriting Festival, 2011) and No Nudity, Weapons or Naked Flames (MayDay! Playwrights’ Festival, 2013) which presented a selection of monologues from our anthology of the same name published by the Federation Press in 2012. We are also included in Currency Press’ anthology of short plays Short Circuit (2009).
