proudly supports the Joan’s 2021 Arts Education season CEO John Vassallo believes, “there’s an enormous social value in showing children they can imagine the unimaginable. In order to boost literacy and create well-rounded, confident, curious and creative minds, kids need the opportunity to be involved in live theatre.”

Make the Most of Your Students’ Arts Education Journey Enhance your students’ theatrical experience and extend their learning in the classroom before and after the show with our invaluable education resources. Carefully devised in collaboration by the production and education teams from the touring theatre companies and The Joan, these resources help you connect the show to the syllabus, whilst providing a range of additional ideas and activities to enable your students to achieve a greater level of connection and engagement with the show’s content and production values. We also place high importance on providing experiences for students to further develop their practical skill levels and career pathways. Therefore, where possible, we offer chances for your students to work directly with practicing arts professionals. The resources available for each show vary and are indicated in the coloured tab at the top of the right-hand page throughout this brochure, using the key outlined here.
BACKSTAGE PASS
Backstage Pass tours give your school group exclusive behindthe-scenes access to visit areas within the theatre not normally available to the public, increasing your students’ understanding of how a professional theatre works. Tours can be booked as an add-on to a show or a standalone activity and can be adapted to cater to the learning outcomes of your students. Backstage Pass tours are subject to capacity and availability. Please refer to page 26 for more information.
CURRICULUM LINKS
Curriculum links have been developed to connect the production with the NSW State Syllabus. These act as a guide to assist you in choosing a show that links to your lesson plans and supports your students in meeting their learning outcomes. Presented in a table, the curriculum links are broken down according to the education stages and subject areas they correlate to, as well as the content areas and outcomes.

ONLINE MEDIA RESOURCES
Media resources vary for each production and may include videos, podcasts, image galleries or interactive web pages. They can provide your students with more insight to the cast and creative team, rehearsal process, behind-thescenes and making of the play and its tour. You can access available media resources for each show from the show pages on our website.
Q&A SESSIONS
Q&A sessions allow school groups to gain a deeper insight into the production. Held after the performance with the cast and/ or creative team, they give your students the unique opportunity to ask all their burning questions around the show and its development process, allowing them to further comprehend the show’s content and adapt the ideas discussed in their own theatre practice.
TEACHERS RESOURCE KIT AND STUDY GUIDES
Teachers Resource Kits are designed to assist you in devising pre- and post-show lesson plans and activities that link directly to the curriculum. Study Guides are created to help students engage with the work through access to focus questions and extra information and materials from the production crew. Where available, these resources are available to download from the shows’ web page on our website.
WORKSHOPS
In-person or digital workshops led by arts professionals and/or teaching artists may be offered pre- or postshow as an additional extra, as a standalone activity or in conjunction with a performance opportunity. Those connected with a production enable your school group to explore its development and content through drama-based activities. Our workshops aim to build confidence and inspire by giving your students key opportunities to explore, practice and adapt new skills and techniques and apply them to their theatre making inside and outside the classroom.

Q Theatre presents
ANNUAL YOUTH THEATRE FESTIVAL 2021 The Annual Youth Theatre Festival (AYTF) returns in 2021! A key calendar event for secondary schools, AYTF celebrates school engagement and professional theatre-making, while providing students with opportunities to explore and find joy in all aspects of theatre production. Previous AYTF productions have included Mother, Decoded and The Tower. As part of the festival, eight schools come together to respond to a provocation, from which they select a performance style and create a 10-minute performance. Over a six-week period, student groups are paired with a professional theatre artist to direct and guide performance development, rehearsal and the finale, which will be performed on Q Theatre’s professional stage in front of an audience. For over 25 years, Q Theatre has invited students to gain direct experience working in a professional theatre-making environment and providing pathways for many into theatre careers in Penrith, greater Western Sydney and beyond. AYTF continues this long-running tradition.

Suitable for Years 9 – 12
With new music score composed by Ian Munro Performed live by Ian Munro and Calvin Bowman
Don’t miss your opportunity to experience the remastered version of this early, iconic Australian silent film, accompanied by acclaimed composer Ian Munro’s new commissioned score, performed by Ian and fellow composer Calvin Bowman, live on stage. Set in the Sydney working class suburb of Woolloomooloo and based on the best-selling verses of C.J. Dennis’ 1915 book The Songs of a Sentimental Bloke, Raymond Longford’s film is a ripping good yarn which humorously depicts the heart-warming tale of larrikin and Sentimental Bloke, Bill, his sweetheart Doreen and his ruffian mate Ginger Mick. This new print from the National Film and Sound Archives incorporates footage which will give your students greater insight into the film. Found in the vaults of George Eastman House, Rochester, New York, it has been restored to its original tinting and toning.

AMPHIBIAN Written by Duncan Graham
Chloe and Hassan are under suspicion for stealing money while feeding the class Axolotl. Sent outside to work out who’s responsible, the unlikely pair find they have something in common. Each of them has been forced by their parents to leave their respective homes and face life as the new kid at school. As their personal histories are revealed, Chloe hears the incredible first-hand account of an Afghan boy who’s travelled alone, thousands of kilometres across land and sea, for a better life. Is the discovery of Hassan’s back story enough to save him from Chloe’s desire to protect her position in her new-found friendship group? Amphibian is an epic story of displacement, loss, and adapting to different worlds. This strong and compelling production is a must-see for teenagers and adults.

Shaun isn’t like the other Shearers in Shaggy Gully…he’d rather be styling than shearing and instead of ‘sheep-dog’, he has a ‘sheepsheep’ named Pete. After being rejected by the shearers and their dogs, Shaun and Pete set up their own Shearing Salon in town and before long word is out and they are inundated with woolly clients and maybe a Ringer or two! This hilarious show, imaginatively told by four performers playing shearers, dogs and sheep explores the challenges and rewards of being an individual and is a lasting tribute to honouring your own spirit and strength, whilst working with the flock.

A Badaptation of the Bard
Created by Richard Higgins, Matt Kelly and Declan Greene The Listies and Critical Stages Touring Join the maestros of children’s comedy, The Listies, as they head to The Joan for the very first time these Winter School Holidays to bring you their multi award-winning, side-splitting badaptation of Shakespeare’s classic play. Cheeky, clever, utterly irreverent and made especially for children, this is the Bard as you never imagined possible! In true Listies style, the hilarious duo has pulled apart Hamlet and glued it back together with hilarious costumes, silliness and plenty of interactivity.

Career Pathways and Development for Students BACKSTAGE PASS Share the magic of theatre with our immersive Backstage Pass tours. Backstage Pass is the perfect way to give your students a greater insight and understanding of how a professional theatre works and an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look into theatre and music production. Available as an add-on to a show or a standalone activity, each tour is unique and can be tailored to meet your school group’s learning outcomes and needs. Primary School Students Kindergarten – Year 6 (Stages 1 – 3) These tours are ideal as an add-on activity for schools attending a show or workshop. They usually run for 30 – 45 minutes and are designed to provide an overview and develop your students’ appreciation of the theatre and how it runs. Junior Secondary School Students Years 7 – 10 (Stages 4 – 5) Running for 1 – 2 hours, tours for these stages work well as an add-on to a show or a standalone activity.

Work Experience and Placement
Suitable for Year 10 and VET students
Are you young and passionate about pursuing a career in the performing arts? Get a taste for the arts industry and gain key practical experience with Penrith Performing & Visual Arts’ Work Experience and Work Placement programs at The Joan, or our sister site, Penrith Regional Gallery. Both programs aim to foster the next generation of arts industry professionals by giving students a behind-the-scenes insight into the workings of an arts organisation. During their placement, students will have the opportunity to work alongside our team of experienced arts professionals from a range of different areas including creative, curatorial, production and technical.
Work Experience is available for Year 10 students. Successful applicants complete a standard work week onsite during school term. This program gives students an introduction into the nature and workings of a professional arts environment, allowing them to link and implement classroom learning to real life situations in the arts industry. Many students find Work Experience assists them in choosing their elective subjects for their senior years.
These initiatives are a fantastic way to discover the practicalities of the workplace, attain valuable life skills, develop arts skills and deepen your love of the creative and performing arts.
Work Placement is run for Vocational Educational Training (VET) students. Hours are flexible and tailored to the individual student’s workplace suitability. This block placement enables the student to gain a more thorough understanding of PP&VA’s inner workings and further extend their skills through exclusive opportunities. For instance, helping the team backstage prepare for a show.
Interested in Applying?
Experiences will vary for students depending on what team they are working with and what is happening at The Joan or Penrith Regional Gallery during the times they are there.
Students are encouraged to contact their school career advisor. More information and application forms are available from the following websites: The Joan – thejoan.com.au/education Penrith Regional Gallery – penrithregionalgallery.com.au/learning Applications are assessed on a case-by-case basis and youth of all abilities, cultural and socio-economic backgrounds are encouraged to apply for PP&VA’s work experience and placement programs.
Please Note: With the current COVID-safety restrictions and reduced programming booked for The Joan and Penrith Regional Gallery, there are no Work Experience or Work Placement offers planned for Terms 1 – 2. If restrictions are lifted and opportunities arise, we may be in a position to announce a new Work Experience/ Placement offer for later in the year. We hope for a change soon so we can welcome your students back to The Joan and Penrith Regional Gallery. Keep an eye on the websites listed above for news.

Now in its seventh year, Originate offers a platform for an ensemble of young and emerging artists aged 18 – 26 to collaborate on the development of a new work about the here and now. Guided by a practicing theatre director, the group collectively move through a workshop process to develop their skills, exchange ideas and generate a new performance from the ground up, culminating in a season performed at The Joan. This project focuses on the development of contemporary performance making practice in young artists and the fostering of new and unexpected collaborations. Previous years have presented The Big Blue, Push Me Away/Pull Me Closer, How to Make a Happy Meal, Mouth of the River, The Bacchae, and Leda and The Swan. Artists who have participated in the Originate project have often gone on to take part in other projects with Q Theatre such as developing theatre projects with Q Theatre Lab and as teaching artists for Studio Q.
