Theatre slam
From 2010 - 2012 Trudi founded and produced Theatre Slam in Melbourne. The first of it's kind in Melbourne, Theatre Slam was a monthly scratch night event for Melbourne performers to explore monologues, duologues or circus performances in a 5 minute performance slot.
With monthly prizes and a panel of industry judges, actors were given a space to try new material, add new writing or develop their performance skills. Running over 2 years in 2 different venues in Melbourne CBD, Theatre slam included an annual fringe taster and became a staple performance space and networking opportunity for the Melbourne Arts Community.

In company theatre

During this time over 1000 plays were entered and over 400 actors auditioned.
