CircuitWest is bringing Performing Arts Connections Australia’s Power PAC work-

shop to your community.

Power PAC workshops address the desire (and need) within communities to be better

connected, build practical skills and nurture and create performance projects in regional

areas.

Because we all want more audiences, better engagement, higher utilisation of our arts

centre spaces, greater outcomes for our communities and more support for making

projects happen.

The three hour workshop is free and you’ll also

receive the practical Power PAC guide.

If you believe that there’s potential for your arts centre to

deliver a broader range of activities…

If you’re a theatre-maker, creative producer or any kind of artist who can see

potential in partnering with a performing arts centre or other local government

owned venues in order to make great work…

If you recognise that your arts centre already has a range of resources that

could be better harnessed to support the creative process…

If you believe you have the capacity to enter into creative partnerships to

support this creative process and be a key player in the making of great

theatre... but don’t quite know where to begin...

This project is being undertaken by CircuitWest in the broader context of the five schemes of the Creative Regions

program, an investment of $24M by government through the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural

Industries and the Department of Primary Industry and Regional Development.
