WORK EXPERIENCE WEEK 2024
"The week has definitely strengthened my interest in the theatre industry and has greatly inspired me to stick to theatre and the arts. I'm super encouraged to have met other like minded creatives who are interested too, and getting an opportunity to build and create lasting connections." – Kathleen, Work Experience Week participant
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Twenty-five Drama students in Years 10 and 11 from across NSW have the opportunity to participate in our immersive, interactive Work Experience Week.
Work Experience Week enables students to explore many facets of STC and gain a broad understanding of the workings of a theatre company. Each day focuses on a different STC department, including programming, direction, set and costume design, marketing, sponsorship and philanthropy. Working in groups, students complete activities in the roles of different creatives and STC staff, and present their ideas in informal presentations. Students participate in tours, panel discussions, workshops and activities run by STC staff and creatives.
The program endeavours to inspire a love and appreciation of the theatre making process, develop theatre making skills and foster the next generation of arts industry professionals. Read more about the experiences of previous Work Experience Week students here. We strongly encourage students who identify as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander, from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, and/or those living with disability to apply.
STC offers a regional scholarship, covering the cost of travel and accommodation up to $1000, to enable a student from regional NSW to participate.
Please note that this program is run during the school holidays and might not be recognised by your school as an official work experience placement. We recommend consulting your careers advisor to discuss this further. Due to the high demand we are unable to accept work experience applications outside of this program.
