How we make our work
In the search for a richness in theatre Brink seeks to cast as wide a net as possible. To do this we bring together like-minded artists and non-artists at the earliest possible moment – everyone responding equally to the initial idea.

The crucial aspect of Brink's approach is that we ask the collaborators to come with nothing prepared – to come with minimal research, no preconceptions, no decisions made and no solutions ready. We ask them to begin in a kind of emptiness.  This is key to our philosophy. 

By committing to beginning in emptiness, a profound openness and urgency is generated that unites and sustains the artists throughout the creation of the work.  It is only after this commitment is undertaken, and images and performance ideas are generated, that Brink commissions the writer - informed by the shared discoveries of the collaboration. 

Brink's shows are held in repertoire and available for touring regionally, nationally and internationally.

Scripts
Brink does not accept unsolicited scripts. Brink is a member of Postscript where writers can have their work assessed and entered into a database available to all member companies.  For more information please go to Playwriting Australia.
