The Monologue Collective have created a theatre initiative where ten teenager writers were commissioned to develop a 6-8 minute monologue for teenagers to perform in the HSC individual drama performance.

THE MONOLOGUE COLLECTIVE Showcase

The Monologue Collective is a performance of ten monologues written by teenagers for teenagers to perform in the HSC Drama Performance. Stories of queer love, neurodiversity, toxic masculinity and meeting your crazy mum at schoolies, that are all written by the diverse voice of Australian youth today.

"Thousands of teenagers perform an HSC monologue every year written by an older writer reminiscing on what being a teenager felt like. The Monologue Collective puts teenagers at the forefront of telling their own stories" Founder and facilitator Laneikka Denne

Through this students gained a deeper understanding of the individual performance HSC major work, including the process involved with preparing a monologue as well as the ways in which dramatic choices can shope an audience's experience.
