About the Awards
The Performing Arts Awards are a new and exciting initiative and were
introduced in 2006 and aim to encourage the continuing practice, enjoyment
and appreciation of performing arts among young people.
The Awards are an important way of valuing the vital role that performing
arts have in the overall education of young people. Studying and experiencing
theatre provides a direct connection and engagement with issues and
questions about oneself, others and the greater world community.
In late September each year the Education Program team selects up
to 20 schools across Melbourne metropolitan and regional Victoria
that have had some connection with the Education program at Malthouse
Theatre. The Heads of Drama or Performing Arts in these schools are
asked to nominate a student whom they believe has been outstanding
in performance or backstage or has inspired others in relation to
performing arts.
The Award
Each award recipient receives a special awards certificate and a double
subscription to Season One at the Malthouse Theatre for the following
year. Winners are invited to attend a range of functions across the
year, including launches, seminars and an opportunity to meet with
Artistic Director, Michael Kantor.
