After a successful pilot in 2025, Barking Gecko Arts is proud to announce the return of Blank Page, a playwright development initiative supporting Western Australian writers working in, or aspiring to enter, the Theatre for Young Audiences space.
This year, Blank Page will offer two selected playwrights the opportunity to undertake a creative mentorship that offers tailored, structured support and a total honorarium of up to $5,000 to develop a new work from pitch to first draft. At the conclusion of the program, playwrights will have completed a Treatment, Dramaturgical Bible, and a First Draft of a new work, culminating in an industry reading at the end of the year.
Applications open on Monday, 25 May, and close on Friday, 19 June 2026.
