STORM THE STAGE 2012 - UPDATE

Dear Stormers,

We regret to advise that Storm the Stage will not be held in 2012.

We have held positive talks with our major sponsor who remains supportive of the event. However, we have simply run out of time and the scope to plan for an effective national event in 2012.

We hope you will not be too disappointed.

To everyone who has been involved in Storm the Stage; sponsors, supporters, organisers, Rotarians and Stormers - thank you!

Storm the Stage Committee

NEW STORM THE STAGE 2012
REGISTRATION DATE:

Dear Stormers,

The Storm the Stage Committee is currently in negotiations with the International Foundation for Arts and Culture (IFAC) for partnership support in 2012. Our talks with IFAC are promising at this stage. However, we will not be able to open registrations on 12 April as notified on the Storm the Stage website. We shall need to extend the opening date to Thursday 17 May 2012.

If we are successful in our talks with IFAC, Storm the Stage 2012 will be a well funded national event for youth in the performing arts. It will have artistic direction and tap into Australia wide youth theatre and drama networks. The National Final will be held in a major Eastern States Capital city.

As you can all appreciate, obtaining funding in the arts is challenging. Storm the Stage has been fortunate to have had the support of IFAC since 2004. It has been a wonderful and loyal relationship. Dr Handa, a Japanese businessman and Chair of IFAC bestows support on organizations worldwide, promoting opportunities for excellence in performance, whether on the theatrical stage or the sports arena.

Please check the web site for the next update.

Regards,
Storm the Stage
National Committee
