This unique development initiative pairs Lead Artists from across Australia with Collaborators (actors, dramaturges, mentors and more) to develop a variety of works, all of which are intended for live performance. The other main objective of the Winter Lab is to create a community space where artists can get to know each other outside of their individual projects through workshops, and other activities intended to build relationships and address issues relevant to the performing arts industry.
If you’re interested in collaborating on new work, please fill out our Open Submission Form (link in bio, or visit - antipodestheatre.com/opportunities There’s no due date for the Open Submission Form.
