Orana Arts’ Not a Dress Rehearsal (NaDR) program for regional youth and ATYP (Australian Theatre for Young People) are partnering again this summer to offer young people of the region with an interest in the performing arts, a 5-day school holiday camp at Lake Burrendong Sport and Recreation Centre in January 2023. There’ll be tutors from ATYP, along with a camp coordinator, camp leader and assistant tutors who have had a long association with the Not a Dress Rehearsal and ATYP programs, fully supervising activities at the camp. To be considered, please register your interest by selecting "Register".

In their own words, either using video (1-2 mins) or written submission (250-500 words), young people aged 13-17 will be required to tell us about:

their interest in the performing arts;
why they wish to be considered for the camp, and;
how it might help further a career in the performing arts or life more generally.

Show us how creative you are in your submissions.

If you have any issues or questions, please contact Camilla at communications@oranaarts.com
