13.01.2022 Hi everyone, Like all of you, we’ve been watching the development of COVID-19. It’s a stressful time for many. We’ve made the decision to cancel all non-essenti...al events. You can find information at www.csu.edu.au/covid-19 We’re doing what we believe is best for our students, staff and community. We’ll keep communicating directly with staff and students about changes. Please look after each other and practice good hygiene. We’ll update you again if things change.

12.01.2022 Charles Sturt University and the CSU Riverina Playhouse hosted the NSW Department of Education’s regional tour of Frantic Assembly this week. Riverina drama teachers spent the day with Frantic practitioners Perry Johnson and Steve Kirkham, working on the building blocks of the Frantic Method, which has helped Frantic Assembly become leaders in movement direction within theatre. Thank you to Jane Simmons from The Arts Unit for making this happen! Frantic will also be conducting workshops at Charles Sturt’s Bathurst campus this week.

11.01.2022 Happy World Theatre Day! As theatres and performance venues all around the globe are empty and dark, including our own CSU Riverina Playhouse, we still celebrat...e the theatre and performance community while practicing social distancing. We look forward to seeing the creativeness and positives that comes out of this period of uncertainty. The SCCI have transitioned to online learning, and for some specialisations, it means thinking creatively on how to successfully teach traditional face-to-face disciplines such as Acting, in the online space. Working remotely doesn't stop our Acting and Performance Design students from connecting with staff and each other. Practical classes still continue online such as voice, acting and movement, and even more exciting are the creative and innovative ways in which we can continue rehearsals and performances online! The second year Acting and Performance Design students are rehearsing Shakespeare's 'Measure for Measure', while the third years are rehearsing a play by Australian playwright Mark Rogers, 'Seeing Horrors 2'. Although they won't be traditional theatre performances, we can assure you that what will be presented to the public online will be unique! Happy World Theatre Day!
