A NIGHT FOR THE TEACHERS

Launch your classrooms into 2026 with Backbone Youth Arts

With Backbone Youth Arts

Join us for the exciting launch of Backbone’s 2026 Education Program and the world premiere of a new Australian Gothic work for classrooms, Rate of Decay by Xanthe Jones.

Your classrooms are at the heart of where young artists begin to explore their creativity, flex their storytelling muscles, and hone their theatrical craft. Join us as Backbone Youth Arts celebrates teachers and get the first look at our exciting new education offerings for classrooms in 2026 plus some exciting announcements for students next year alongside our industry collaborators.

Attendees will also enjoy a play reading from a new Australian Gothic work for Drama classrooms - Rate of Decay by Xanthe Jones, presented by Drama students from around South-East Queensland.

Teacher attendees at the event will receive a discount code for all 2026 Backbone Youth Arts workshops.
