The Magdalena Perth Theatre Workshop Festival Tuesday 9th -- Saturday 13th February 2010 The 2010 Magdalena Perth Theatre Workshop Festival was a celebration and professional development opportunity for women working in contemporary theatre. The event was initiated by a group of artists in Western Australia who have created a local chapter of the wider international Magdalena Project network: www.themagdalenaproject.org. The idea of the workshop festival was driven by the need to overcome the tyranny of distance and isolation when developing theatre craft, and the desire to promote greater collegiality and conversation between local and interstate women at various stages of their arts practice. Magdalena Perth was proud to host five remarkable Australian practitioners to headline this inaugural event. As well as extending skills and networks throughout the five-day intensive workshop program, the week of activities also includes evening forums, work-in-progress showings and performances. Magdalena Perth 2010 artists were: Margaret Cameron, Karen Hethey, Nikki Heywood, Helen Sharp and Leisa Shelton The Magdalena Perth Committee are: Dawn Albinger, Gita Bezard, Teresa Izzard, Leah Mercer, Sarah McKellar, Kathryn Osborne and Julie Robson
