ATYP On Demand
ATYP stages work specifically developed to excite young people, not just as audiences but as artists with plays that speak to the experiences, challenges, and achievements of growing up and growing older. The ATYP On Demand platform gives young people and educators around Australia the opportunity to be inspired by the extraordinary talent of young artists. These are plays performed by people their age, including two Redlands students Apsara Lindeman and Olivia Everingham as well as several Redlanders including Rebecca Burchett and Asha Boswarva.
