Bronte Gosper

Bronte Gosper is a Wiradjuri writer with a background in theatre, film, and documentary. Her work blends satire, comedy, and drama to interrogate how history, institutions, and identity collide in contemporary Australia.

Prior to NIDA, Bronte lived in New York for four years on a full scholarship to Columbia University, where she studied oral history/documentary and completed a thesis on Indigenous concepts of time that won the Brodsky Award and was featured on ABC’s Philosopher’s Zone.

The projects Bronte is currently working on include Musket, a coming-of-age drama about two Aboriginal boys reckoning with a stolen colonial weapon; Gone Bush, a horror-thriller about a Wiradjuri journalist drawn into a sinister cultural retreat; Blue Tears, a satire about a white man who begins turning blue after an Avatar screening; and Yiraway, a finalist for the Best New Play Award at the Australian Theatre Festival in New York. Bronte also worked in NITV’s commissioning team working across various stages of development and production for NITV’s slate and as a researcher on Living Black.
