About the Event

Interstellar authors Amie Kaufman and Lili Wilkinson take one giant leap into an unknown universe created by galactically good teen writers. Using a setting and premise crafted by talented teens, Amie and Lili will bring this cosmic creation to life in a special Spring Fling event. YOU, the audience, will be mission control and YOUR decisions will determine the characters' fate. Will they survive deep space? Discover a new planet? Meet their intergalactic demise? Only time will tell.

About Spring Fling

Spring Fling returns in 2023, and this year we’re going Above and Beyond. We’re looking further, delving deeper, and asking bigger questions with outstanding thinkers who are reshaping our world and envisioning extraordinary futures. Spring Fling is supported by the Victorian State Government.
