Stuff for Artists
To do that, we see shows and showings, hold workshops, host forums,
accept scripts and pitches, take meetings, travel the country, listen to
the grapevine, and have lots of conversations with lots of people. If
your work excites us, we will begin a conversation about how we might
be able to support your ideas through to production.
Each year we produce 6 – 8 Upstairs shows and 4 – 5 Downstairs shows.
Most of those shows will be new Australian work or reinvented classics.
We produce a lot of this work ourselves, but we also work with other
companies to co-present or co-produce.
Follow the links in the menu above for more information.
Upstairs or Downstairs?
Upstairs is our mainstage – a big, difficult, wonderful corner space
which has been home to landmark Australian theatre for three decades and
counting.
Downstairs is for striking out on new adventures in content and form. It
is a small but expansive space that can handle everything from
Beckett’s talking mouth in
Not I to a whole Shakespeare. It is an opportunity for established artists to enjoy some intimacy and for new artists to think big.
Inviting Us to See Your Work
The best way for us to get to know your work is to see it on its feet,
so it is a good idea to let us know when you have a show, a reading or a
workshop happening.
You can invite the Artistic Director and the Artistic and Programming staff by emailing our Associate Producer,
who keeps a record of all the invites and helps organise the chaos. If
you like, you can also drop an email to individual staff. We cannot see
everything, but we get close.
