Malthouse Theatre, by David Torr
Victoria University (VU) is proud to be partners with Malthouse Theatre � Australia's leading contemporary theatre company.
As official Education Partner of its youth and education program, Malthouse Prompt, we share a commitment to developing and promoting new talent.
Renowned for producing and presenting the country’s most exciting and innovative arts events, Malthouse Theatre is Melbourne’s hub for cutting edge contemporary performance.
VU’s longstanding partnership with Malthouse Theatre is built on the shared vision to celebrate excellence, opportunity, community and empowerment. VU is also delighted to offer students and staff the opportunity to engage with Malthouse Theatre's annual artistic program through a range of attractive ticket offers.
Malthouse Prompt
Malthouse Theatre views high quality arts education as vitally important to the development of young people. In 2012, Malthouse launched Prompt, a re-invigorated program of learning and discovery for young people and educators that has gone from strength to strength.
Provocateurs
Malthouse Theatre Youth and Education Manager, Vanessa O'Neill.
The Provocateurs program is part of Prompt that offers a team of 30 theatre-lovers aged 18 to 26 the opportunity to attend performances and engage with audiences. For a full year, they see shows, meet the artists who created them, join formal conversation events and meet other young artists, theatre-goers and thinkers. They are invited to write reviews, open up the discussion on social media and talk with audience members in the foyer before and after shows.
Five priority places in the Provocateurs program are made available each year for VU students.
Malthouse Theatre Youth and Education Manager, Vanessa O'Neill, speaks highly of the students who participate in the Prompt program.
"The VU students involved in the program are all highly enthusiastic, creative and passionate.
Gaining industry experience is incredibly important for graduates and I applaud VU for having this as their focus."
