At our next Spinning Plates we’re asking, “What’s on your plate?”
Share the projects (and ideas) you have on the boil, and hear what others are up to. Are you spinning too many plates? We’ll also talk strategies for figuring out what to press go on and what to pause.
Hosted by CAAP EP, Justine Shih Pearson, Spinning Plates is our almost-monthly, online, lunchtime catch-up is for Asian Australian producers and artists to connect, ask questions, and share experience. It’s a free, informal space for knowledge sharing across the country.
This one is coming up Wed 5 May, 12pm AEST.

More pairs from our Ticket Club: LACRIMA night 🫂
We have had the funnest January launching Ticket Club, watching @sydney_festival shows with Asian Australian artists and they’re (non- arts) plus ones!
After watching LACRIMA, we were in complete awe of the masterful feat in storytelling that it was and got a glimpse of its creation in chatting with some of the performers after the show!
More Ticket Club events coming this year, so keep your eyes peeled to get a chance to watch great theatre with great company (for free!)

That’s a wrap on Ticket Club for this month!
On Friday, team CAAP headed to LACRIMA as part of @sydney_festival , taking an awesome group of artists and their non-artist plus-ones along to experience Caroline Guiela Nguyen’s monumental work.
So energising to see theatre of this scale on our stages and to experience it together.
We loved meeting new artists and diving straight into post-show chats.
Huge thanks to Sydney Festival for partnering with us on our pilot program across two shows.
Want to join us next time? Keep an eye out for our next Ticket Club coming soon 👀
