If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to the Short+Sweet team.

It’s been exciting to see the Festival grow over the last six years as more and more audiences and creatives have gotten involved in Short+Sweet Festival.

In 2016, Short+Sweet Festival Auckland is presenting the Short+Sweet Theatre Workshop series designed to support local creatives in their professional development and the creation of more high quality, original 10 minute works. We’ve called upon experienced industry players and practitioners to share their knowledge, tips and experiences to help new and emerging creatives from all communities hone their theatre storytelling skills.

This series of affordable workshops are aimed at building up local creatives by increasing their skill levels, knowledge and confidence in directing, writing and composing for ten-minute theatre and musicals.

These workshops are open to creatives of all types and experience levels who may need a little extra help, an outside eye on their developing script or a boost in inspiration.
