Since 2002, Short+Sweet has gathered emerging and established actors, writers and directors to present seasons of the best local and international ten-minute plays across Australia. Since then, Short+Sweet has expanded into other performance genres including Dance, Cabaret, Comedy, Song (musicals), and Voices (choirs), encouraging new and experienced artists of all fields to participate in the specialised ten-minute performance opportunities. In 2007 the Short+Sweet Theatre Awards Night at the Arts Centre in Melbourne was videotaped by the Movie Network and aired on the Movie Extra channel in March. The ten plays of the final were shown, two at a time, as five 30 minute episodes with hosting by Josh Lawson and featuring commentary by Alex Dimitriades, Pia Miranda and Suzi Porter amongst others. Similarly, the Sydney festival was videotaped this year. The first international S+S festival was presented in Singapore. The inaugural two week festival was at held at the NAFA Black Box with the Awards Night at the Esplanade Theatres by the Bay. Since the addition of Singapore, Short+Sweet has expanded to annual festivals in New Zealand, Philippines, Dubai, and multiple cities of India. Short+Sweet Sydney remains the largest short play festival in the world and is annually encouraging new works and emerging artists a unique opportunity for performance, professional development, and networking. Short+Sweet is constantly exploring and utilising the various opportunities of growth into other performance genres, cities, and professional partnerships.
