Writers Lab | Northside

Since April 2024, Back to Back Theatre has been working with award-winning writer and director Chi Vu, along with multi-award-winning author Chloe Hooper, to mentor a group of writers from the northern suburbs.

The four writers who have been developing their writing skills are: Allan V Watt, Kgshak Akec, Chris Hansen and Scott Day.

The project brought together a variety of creative works, ranging from theatre and film scripts to a novel, all of which received invaluable mentorship from Chi Vu and Chloe Hooper. Over several months, they worked closely with the writers to shape their work, helping them refine their ideas and bring their stories to life.

The culmination of this journey was a series of rehearsed readings held at the Rosewall Community Centre, where professional actors performed the final scripts.

Across three nights, over 50 community members gathered to witness these works-in-progress, offering encouragement and feedback.

It was a celebration of local talent, collaboration, and creativity.
