This is a writer’s group with a difference. It is a unique and free opportunity to explore these questions alongside fellow writers, led by an experienced screenwriter and doctoral researcher who is studying the representation of Indigenous Australians on film and in TV drama.
The aim of these workshops is to develop your own screenplay. Along the way we aim to increase your abilities and confidence to
tell stories from the Imperial era with Indigenous characters as the protagonist and antagonist – in other words, to write the untold stories from history for the screen
and to create characters who are missing from national narratives of history. During the seminars we will have the chance to engage with scholars
from information studies, art history, history and English literature. We will read each other’s outlines and screenplays. And we will write!
