Work Experience
Applications for 2022 Work Experience are now open.
Calling young people who have a passion for live performance and the exciting behind-the-scenes world of technical theatre and production!
In 2022, ATYP is pleased to offer an immersive Work Experience program at our new home at Pier 2/3, where students will join the ATYP team for a week to find out just what it takes to run a theatre company. Students studying Year 10 Drama, Year 11 Drama or Entertainment are invited to apply to be one of ten students taking part in this unique experience.
In ATYP’s Work Experience you will experience the day-to-day running of a theatre company and learn about the different roles and functions of each department including Production, Learning, Marketing, Development and Writing.
Entry by application. Ten students will be selected. Students in regional/ interstate schools are encouraged to apply, however, ATYP is unable to cover travel and accommodation costs.

“The work placement was simply a game-changer for Eleanore’s perspective on creative collaboration. The family-like team support and encouragement of a young person’s business ideas was incredibly powerful. Being included in meetings and active participation in the rehearsal process celebrated Eleanore’s love for the industry and professional Theatre teamwork.”
