3DFest is back again for another year of theatrical magic!

3DFest is a collaborative partnership between Victoria University and Malthouse Theatre. A home for emerging artists, 3DFest is an annual theatre festival for students across campuses of all Victorian tertiary institutes. It’s about writing theatre, making theatre and performing theatre with the chance to show off your talents to industry professionals.

And, you don’t have to be a drama queen to get involved - tertiary students
from any faculty can enter.

Since its inception in 2002, over 600 students have strutted their stuff and some of these participants have gone on to present their work at an international level. Others now play an active part in the Melbourne theatre scene.

Does it cost any money to enter?
It’s FREE, so no excuses. There are no entry fees or registration fees for
3DFest. You will need to look after the costs of production and travel.

When is 3DFest on?
3DFest returns August 12 - 15, 2008. Showcase Wednesday August 27.

I’m interested in finding out more…
Of course you are! There are no limits to what you can dream up for the stage
but there are certain requirements for this particular Festival.

Entering 3DFest - Entries for 3DFest 2008 are now open.

The Festival that was…
3DFest 2007 went off with a bang in August with 16 productions from 8 institutions. After the Showcase at the CUB Malthouse on August 22, The Industry Panel of Michael Kantor, Maryanne Lynch, Lally Katz and Aidan Fennessey gave Malthouse Theatre Development Awards to Screams of Unconscious and Matilda’s Waltz, both presented by students from Monash University. Development Awards are given out each year and are tailored to the winning group’s requirements and may take the form of workshopping, dramaturgy, mentoring and performance.
