Fabulamundi Playwriting Europe: New Voices
“New Voices” is the new edition of the successful European cooperation project Fabulamundi – Playwriting Europe. As an Austrian partner in the three-year EU project, we will be working with 13 partner organisations from 9 countries to promote young playwrights from 2023 to 2025.
The project goals and project activities at a glance:
– Support the creation of new texts for the stage with a focus on plays for young audiences.
– Promoting translations and exchange between participating playwrights, tutors and theatres.
– Presence and visibility of young Austrian playwrights for a large European theatre community through public presentations of the projects in digital formats as well as through performances, readings and publications.
– Creative writing workshops at schools, universities and theatres, including so-called “twinned workshops”, in which authors from two different countries jointly develop teaching concepts.
– Peer to peer learning sessions for playwrights and organisations
– 3 main topics: Environment and sustainability, gender balance, digitalisation

FAB-Community
New Voices offers 66 creative and dramatic writing workshops led by 19 European playwrights from the so-called FAB community. The playwrights will travel across Europe in a partnership programme, meet other colleagues and teams thanks to the Cross the Map programme, and share insights and thoughts about playwriting in the video series In a New Light.
Across disciplines, the FAB community offers a wide range of workshops developed locally in each partner country and extended internationally thanks to a mobility programme with partnerships. A second guest playwright is invited to all workshops to collaborate, encouraging dialogue and enriching debate and exchange. The 19 playwrights will mentor a wide audience of young people who are invited to participate in the project. At the same time, they will be mentored by a group of international experts in a professional training programme specifically designed to enhance their artistic development and raise their awareness of the core issues: Gender and inclusion, green theatre and digitalisation.
