Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth are being investigated for suitable applicants, so if you think you fit the criteria outlined below, please apply immediately.

Philippe Karl has requested all applications to be centralised and collated by Pip Easton in Perth so we can determine interest and inform participants and spectators alike where the courses will be held. By December 2009, we will have an answer from Philippe Karl whether he can commit to a mid 2010 start. The Teachers Course runs for three years with three four day courses per year. Costs will be determined.
