CQU arts education lecturer Sue Davis is inviting fledgling film makers to take part in 'cyberdrama workshops', using the nurse training wards at our Noosa Hub as a backdrop.

They will be part of the Noosa Longweekend 'Major Minors' program from July 7-11.

On the website being developed to support the project - http://noosascrubs.ning.com/ - Sue explains that cyberdrama is a new, ground breaking form of presenting performed narratives online.

"You've seen All Saints, ER, GP...now you can participate in creating and presenting Noosa's own hospital drama/parody that will unfold across the week," she says.

"Working in teams, you will create video clips of performance and other online materials (photos, etc) with episodes being uploaded everyday to You Tube on a specially created website.

"If you are 14-18 years of age and experienced in or have a strong interest in drama, film making, music & sound and/or digital & multimedia technology then this workshop is for you.

"Whether you want to be in front or behind the camera or working on production, this week-long workshop will give you experience and skills in being part of a creative team producing cyberdrama - a new genre of theatre making and presenting.

"You will have access to the CQU 6-bed hospital training ward facility to film the action with CQU's nursing educators acting as medical advisors to ensure your drama is real-to-life.
