Australian Theatre for Young People (ATYP) is Australia's leading national youth theatre company. Founded in Sydney in 1963 by Eleanor Witcombe, it offers year round workshops for students and writing programs, annually commissions four plays for young performers for their mainstage season and provides an online platform available to students, teachers and schools nationally that live streams selected performances and stores recorded shows.[1]

History

The first committee was formed in 1964 and consisted of Alastair Duncan as chairman, Diana Sharpe as secretary, Nigel Lovell as treasurer as well as Ellis Irving, Owen Weingott and Wendy Blacklock.

ATYP's first production was the comedy: She Stoops to Conquer - Goldsmith Examined by Oliver Goldsmith, adapted and directed by Owen Weingott. It sourced schools in the metropolitan Sydney with Owen Weingott, Barry Creyton and Reginald Livermore as cast members.

The company's first commission was Hullabaloo Belay! The Whitby Adventure by Barbara Vernon, directed by Nigel Lovell. It premiered on the 26th of December, 1964 at the St. James Playhouse.[2]

Location

Since 1997, ATYP was housed at The Wharf, Pier 4/5, but due to the construction that started in July of 2018, ATYP has relocated its office to Woolloomooloo.

Their workshops are now in the following venues: Abraham Mott Hall, The Seymour Centre, Carriageworks, Brand X and Redfern Town Hall.

Their performances spaces are SBW Stable's Theatre, Riverside Theatres, Parramatta and The Joan, Penrith.[3]

They are projected to move back to the wharf in 2021.[4] --ElectricMagneticPersonality (talk) 01:32, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

Workshop program

The workshop program at ATYP includes school holiday workshops and a semester ensemble program.[5]

Up to 12 workshops are offered per week ranging in ages from 5 to 18 years old during NSW school term times. Semester Ensemble classes focus on a foundation of skills and storytelling, finishing with a theatrical performance at the end of semester.[6]

ATYP's holiday workshops run during every school holidays – 4 weeks in Summer, and 2 weeks during every other break. They include acting, physical theatre, musical theatre, design, playwriting, camera performance, circus an clowning.[7]

ATYP has a masterclass program for young people aged 18 to 26, and in 2012 ATYP introduced the signature series masterclasses - opportunities for young adults to spend time with theatre practitioners. Previous instructors include: Rose Byrne[8], Darren Gilshenan, Anita Hegh[9] and Kevin Jackson[10].

ATYP also offers specialist workshops for schools, community groups, organisations and arts companies.[11]

ATYP on demand

ATYP On Demand is a free service for schools and students set up by ATYP that houses filmed live performances from previous productions as well as educational resources and activities, behind the scenes content and the ability to watch live streams of selected performances during the mainstage season that concludes in a cast Q&A.[12][13]

Writing Programs
Fresh Ink National Mentoring Program

Running annually from April to December since 2008, the Fresh Ink National Mentoring Program is for emerging writers (aged 18-26) in selected states across Australia. The selected writers are offered mentoring by an industry professional, opportunities to work with professional actors and directors, as well as opportunities to showcase their work to invited audiences. [14]

The National Studio

Since it was established in 2008, twenty writers from the ages of 18 to 26 have been selected annually from a group of applicants across Australia to be a part of The National Studio. During their one week residency at Bundanon, the young writers are mentored by three professional playwrights through a variety of classes that culminates in the creation of a production, under the title Intersection, that is then put on by ATYP the following year during their mainstage season.

For the first eight years of the program from 2011-2016, writers created a collection of seven minute monologues for 17-year-old actors under The Voices Project, but starting in 2016, the Intersection production was created in its place.[15]

Writing Place (SA)

The Writing Place is a residency for regional writers and performers between the ages of 18 and 26 living outside of Australia's major cities. It is a joint project of ATYP, Country Arts SA and Carclew and is supported by the Regional Arts Fund Strategic initiatives. Twenty writers are selected from a pool of applicants to work with three professional playwrights. Each participant creates a short monologue or scene to be performed by actors in their teenage years. After the residency half of the work created are then chosen to be published and made available to schools and youth theatres in the following year.[16]

Scholarships
Rose Byrne Scholarship

The Rose Byrne Scholarship is open to women between the ages of 18 and 26 who are emerging female artistic leaders. The recipient receives $10,000 towards their artistic practice and a trip to Los Angeles, USA, to work on a project with the Australian Theatre Company as well as attend the G'day USA gala dinner.[17]

Commissions

ATYP commissions 4 plays annually through their ATYP Foundation Commissions program, the Rebel Wilson Comedy Commission and the Martin-Lysicrates Prize.

ATYP Foundation Commissions

Established in 2003, the ATYP Foundation Commissions annually calls for two commissions to be written by playwrights of any age. One commission asks for a play suitable for performers between the ages of 10 and 13, while the other asks for work that is suitable for performers between the ages of 14 and 17.

Applications are assessed by a panel of young people, Playlab representatives, ATYP and the ATYP Foundation.

Once chosen, the two plays are then published by Playlab and produced as part of ATYP's mainstage season.[18]

Rebel Wilson Comedy Commission

In order to be eligible for the Rebel Wilson Comedy Commission, applicants must be female writers between 18 and 26 years old and have experience in writing, playwriting and/or comedy. The recipient receives a $15,000 play writing commission, two script development workshops, a rehearsed reading, the opportunity to receive mentorship from Rebel Wilson and a trip to Los Angeles, USA, to participate in the Australian Theatre Company's Summer Reading Series. [19]

The Martin-Lysicrates Prize

Created in 2019 with Riverside's National Theatre of Parramatta and The Lysicrates Foundation, the Martin-Lysicrates Prize awards a full commission of $15,000 to the winning playwright for a new play for young people aged 11-14. After submitting the first 10-15 minutes of their play, the top three playwrights will be chosen and given a week's rehearsal with a professional team of artists. Then the plays will be performed before an audience of children, who will vote for the winning play. The runner-ups receive a cash prize of $1,000.

An online voting also takes place as each performance is professionally filmed. The winner of the online voting receives a further cash prize of $2,000

All playwrights of any level of experience and age across the country can enter.[20]

History

ATYP mounts up to eight productions a year. These vary from alternative versions of classics, new plays by young writers, devised performances, physical theatre, or plays written for the company by leading Australian writers, such as Alana Valentine's Grounded, Kate Mulvany and Ann-Louise Sarks' Medea and Max Remy Super Spy by Deborah Abela, adapted by Jo Turner.

  1. Of the 26 separate references supplied with this request, 74% of them originate from the subject theater itself.
  2. These references are used to verify requested claims regarding the subject theater's scholarships, writing programs, commissions, workshops and past productions.
  3. A substantial portion of this information appears focused on informing potential new students about ways of securing the financing needed to participate in the subject theater (i.e., the aforementioned sections on writing programs, scholarships and commissions — all programs which enable potential participants to earn money which is then used to compensate the subject theater for their participation).
  4. In light of the guidelines at WP:PROMO and WP:NPOV, this information ought to be verified by reliable WP:SECONDARY sources which are unconnected to the subject theater itself. Having these claims verified by outside sources can help to demonstrate that these items are encyclopedic in nature beyond the theater saying that they are. This may help to ensure WP:NPOV in the claims proposed to be added to the article.
  5. The Past productions, Notable personnel, Notable students, and Artistic director sections are largely unreferenced.
  6. Kindly reformulate the edit request so that it provides additional sources — preferably a greater balance of theater-based sources along with sources unconnected to the theater — and feel free to resubmit that request at your earliest convenience.

Some feedback:

  1. The past production section needs to be placed using a WP:TABLE.
  2. Roughly 13 of the productions listed there are unreferenced.
  3. Sites such as Barking Gecko, Aussietheatere.com, Work at Home Mums, Sydney Arts Guide, Ausstage.edu.au, activeactivities.com, and tnn.org.au are promotional in nature, and should be replaced with reliable WP:SECONDARY sources unconnected to the subject theater or the theater industry. Those sites which are connected to the theater industry are merely relaying information given to them by the subject theater.
  4. The amount of article space devoted to those programs which generate revenue for the theater needs to be limited (i.e., the various writing programs, scholarships and commissions). This information is promotional in nature.
  5. When using headings on the talk page to indicate which style of heading will be used in the article, please use the {{fake heading}} template. That template can be specified to which level you desire, and its use will not negatively impact the talk page's table of contents.[a] I have altered the headings in the last version of your request to give you an idea of how these should be used.
  6. Ref tags are not to be placed in headings.[b]
  7. Except in cases of proper nouns, heading titles should always use sentence case with only the first word being capitalized.[c]
  8. Notable alumni need to be either referenced here in the theater's article or in the Wikipedia article which the name links to.[d] If the reference for attending the school is already located in the Wikipedia article on the subject (and therefore not necessary in this article) please indicate this by placing a small check () next to the name using the {{Y&}} template. This check will be removed once the name is added to the article.

Thank you for your assistance in correcting these issues, it's much appreciated!
Regards,  Spintendo  17:36, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

Notes

  1. ^ When fake headings are used on the talk page without the {{fake heading}} template, this negatively effects the talk page's table of contents, which is then tasked to display all of these headings as if they were individual talk page posts.
  2. ^ Per: MOS:HEADINGS.
  3. ^ Per: MOS:AT.
  4. ^ Per: WP:ALUMNI.
  • I agree with most of Spintendo's points. I've made some changes to the article as it now stands, which you should use as guidance for how to bring it into compliance with Wikipedia's policies:
  1. Avoid promotionalisms, such a "leading", "major", "best known" and so forth. Keep the tone and wording neutral.
  2. The list of productions above is much too extensive for a theatre of this size and notability. If the full list is added to the article, it will be removed - wer are not a place to advertise or promote your theatre. Plays specifically listed should be done for a specific reason, and their inclusion should be supported by a citation from a reliable source (which you need to read thoroughly), and not by references deriving directly or indirectly from the theatre itself. News accounts, reviews, article in magazine all go toward establishing the company's notability and the significance of its productions.
  3. Please read closely WP:PROMOTION and avoid the pitfalls described there. Continued promotional editing from editors connected to the theatre is likely to wind up badly, and such editors have a conflict of interest. Being banned from editing the article is a possible outcome.
  4. Why were the sections you wish to remove chosen?

Some Proposed Changes 3

Thank you to both Spintendo and Beyond My Ken for the editing suggestions!! I hope I got them all !

Information to be added: History, ATYP On Demand, Writing Programs, Scholarships, Commissions, Notable Productions, Artistic Directors

Information to be updated: Description, Workshop Program, Productions, Notable Personnel, Notable Alumni because all now have relevant citations, the wording has been edited for no promotional language and general updates. Also, please update the date ATYP was founded from 1964 to 1963 in both the infobox and description, as referenced below.

Information to be removed: Under the Wharf, Fresh Ink because Under the Wharf no longer exists as ATYP is no longer on the wharf and Fresh Ink can be reformatted with the two other writing programs ATYP offers under a "writing programs" section

Extended content

Australian Theatre for Young People (ATYP) is a not-for-profit national youth theatre company located in Woolloomooloo, New South Wales, Australia. It was founded in Sydney in 1963 by Eleanor Witcombe[1].

History

The first committee was formed in 1964 and consisted of Alastair Duncan as chairman, Diana Sharpe as secretary[2], Nigel Lovell as treasurer as well as Ellis Irving, Owen Weingott and Wendy Blacklock.[3]

ATYP's first production was the comedy: She Stoops to Conquer - Goldsmith Examined by Oliver Goldsmith, adapted and directed by Owen Weingott. It sourced schools in the metropolitan Sydney with Owen Weingott, Barry Creyton and Reginald Livermore as cast members. [4]
Location

Since 1997, ATYP was housed at The Wharf, Pier 4/5, but due to the construction that started in July of 2018, ATYP has relocated its office to Woolloomooloo.

Their workshops are now in the following venues: Abraham Mott Hall, The Seymour Centre, Carriageworks, Brand X and Redfern Town Hall.

Their performances spaces are SBW Stable's Theatre, Riverside Theatres, Parramatta and The Joan, Penrith.[5]

Workshop program

The workshop program at ATYP includes school holiday workshops and a semester ensemble program.

Up to 12 workshops are offered per week ranging in ages from 5 to 18 years old during NSW school term times. Semester Ensemble classes focus on a foundation of skills and storytelling, finishing with a theatrical performance at the end of semester.[6]

ATYP's holiday workshops run during every school holidays – 4 weeks in Summer, and 2 weeks during every other break. They include acting, physical theatre, musical theatre, design, playwriting, camera performance, circus an clowning.[7]

ATYP has a masterclass program for young people aged 18 to 26, and in 2012 ATYP introduced the signature series masterclasses - opportunities for young adults to spend time with theatre practitioners. Previous instructors include: Rose Byrne[8], Darren Gilshenan, Anita Hegh[9] and Kevin Jackson[10].

ATYP also offers specialist workshops for schools, community groups, organisations and arts companies.

ATYP on demand

ATYP On Demand is a free service for schools and students set up by ATYP that houses filmed live performances from previous productions as well as educational resources and activities, behind the scenes content and the ability to watch live streams of selected performances during the mainstage season that concludes in a cast Q&A.[11]

Writing programs
Fresh ink national mentoring program

Running annually from April to December since 2008, the Fresh Ink National Mentoring Program is for emerging writers (aged 18-26) in selected states across Australia. The selected writers are offered mentoring by an industry professional, opportunities to work with professional actors and directors, as well as opportunities to showcase their work to invited audiences. [12]

The national studio

Since it was established in 2008, twenty writers from the ages of 18 to 26 have been selected annually from a group of applicants across Australia to be a part of The National Studio. The one week residency at Bundanon culminates in the creation of a production, under the title Intersection, that is then put on by ATYP the following year during their mainstage season.[13]

For the first eight years of the program from 2011-2016, writers created a collection of seven minute monologues for 17-year-old actors under The Voices Project, but starting in 2016, the Intersection production was created in its place.

Writing place (SA)

The Writing Place is a residency for regional writers and performers between the ages of 18 and 26 living outside of Australia's major cities. It is a joint project of ATYP, Country Arts SA and Carclew and is supported by the Regional Arts Fund Strategic initiatives. Twenty writers are selected from a pool of applicants. Each participant creates a short monologue or scene to be performed by actors in their teenage years. After the residency half of the work created are then chosen to be published and made available to schools and youth theatres in the following year.[14]

Scholarships
Rose Byrne scholarship

The Rose Byrne Scholarship aims to support an emerging female leader between the ages of 18 and 26. The recipient receives a cash prize towards their artistic practice and a trip to Los Angeles, USA, to work on a project with the Australian Theatre Company as well as attend the G'day USA gala dinner.[15]

Commissions

ATYP commissions 4 plays annually through their ATYP Foundation Commissions program, the Rebel Wilson Comedy Commission and the Martin-Lysicrates Prize.

ATYP foundation commissions
Established in 2003, the ATYP Foundation Commissions annually calls for two commissions to be written by playwrights of any age. One commission asks for a play suitable for performers between the ages of 10 and 13, while the other asks for work that is suitable for performers between the ages of 14 and 17.[16]
Rebel Wilson comedy commission

The Rebel Wilson Comedy Commission is for women between 18 and 26 years old. The commission includes the opportunity to receive mentor-ship from Rebel Wilson and a trip to Los Angeles, USA, to participate in the Australian Theatre Company's Summer Reading Series. [17]

Martin Lysicrates prize
Created in 2019 with Riverside's National Theatre of Parramatta and The Lysicrates Foundation, the Martin-Lysicrates Prize awards a full commission to the winning playwright for a new play for young people aged 11-14. [18]
Productions

ATYP mounts up to eight productions a year. These vary from alternative versions of classics, new plays by young writers, devised performances, physical theatre, or plays written for the company by leading Australian writers, such as Alana Valentine's Grounded, Kate Mulvany and Ann-Louise Sarks' Medea and Max Remy Super Spy by Deborah Abela, adapted by Jo Turner.

These productions have featured in festivals such as the 2000 Olympic Arts Festival (Stephen Sewell's version of Aristophanes' Birds), 2002 Sydney Festival (Kinderspiel, a collaboration with Theater an der Parkaue, Germany's largest theatre for children and young people), 2003 Shell Connections festival for the National Theatre, London (Brokenville by Philip Ridley), and 2004 Sydney Festival (The Musicians/Eclipse, a co-production with the National Theatre's Young Company [UK]).

ATYP poductions have toured regionally, such as Sugarland,[19] nationally, such as A Town Named War Boy,[20] and internationally, such as Patrice Balbina's Chance Encounter with the End of the World.[21]

Thank you for revising the request, its much appreciated. Taking a cursory look at the notable alumni section shows many names with a green check (indicating that the claim referenced in the main article on the subject was verified). However, a check of 8 random names chosen showed that the links to these claims in the subject's article were either not present or non-functional in 5 of them (Rachel Cooper, Christian Antidormi, Matt Boesenberg[a], Rob Carlton, Beejan Land) — meaning that of the claims checked, 62.5% of them failed verification. Thus I'm going to ask that the citations from the subject's home article be added here for verification. Regards,  Spintendo  16:26, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

Notes

  1. ^ The reference for this claim made in the Matt Boesenberg article makes mention of a student by the name of Matt Rosenberg, while the Matt Boesenberg article itself makes no mention of the subject changing their name or using an alias.
