The Longhouse: Melbourne
October 4, 2018 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm AEST
CAAP’s Longhouse
CAAP’s Longhouse is a networking and information sharing program that has been building a solid and thriving Asian Australian performance community in NSW since 2015.
As a result, now, CAAP invites you to attend Melbourne’s first Longhouse to be hosted by Melbourne Theatre Company.
So, facilitated by Ra Chapman with an introduction by Annette Shun Wah, four of Melbourne’s most progressive and dynamic storytellers will be joining us to share their experiences within the industry in Victoria. Also, they will take part in a conversation about the current state of diversity and representation on our stages and screens.
Likewise, the panel discussion will run for approximately one hour, followed by a chance to network over nibbles and drinks.
Guest Speakers
KIM HO (The Language of Love, Mirror’s Edge – Winner 2017 Patrick White Playwright’s Award)
MICHELE LEE (Going Down, Rice – Winner 2018 Australian Writer’s Guild Award, Victorian Premier’s Literary Award)
NATESHA SOMASUNDARAM (Entomology, Human Resources, Jeremy and Lucas Buy a Fucking House)
