Playwriting
Part of Black Swan State Theatre Company’s role as Western Australia’s flagship theatre company is to engage audiences on a profound level by celebrating
and promoting Western Australia’s cultural identity. Black Swan aspires to create beautifully crafted stories that matter to Western Australians and are seen throughout Australia.
Our brand of dynamic contemporary theatre aspires to promote Western Australian theatre artists as an integral part of the national cultural agenda through coproductions, tours and the creation of new work. Our playwriting program enables us to contribute to the national canon through plays we have developed and produced at Black Swan State Theatre Company. Click below to find out more about:
