In Chapter One and Chapter Two 2019, we are setting out to embody our values and create a space for conversations that matter.
This means presenting more work for children, young people and families while making a concerted effort to change the very face of Australian theatre, by putting teams led by female-identifying artists front and centre.
This also means continuing our tradition of presenting tenacious, dangerous and boundary-shattering work while supporting uncompromising ensemble practice; encouraging and promoting tight knit theatre communities and networks.
But where the focus of 2019’s programming truly lies is in our commitment to new writing and new scripts, proudly providing a platform for the storytellers of tomorrow.
We believe in exploring and celebrating hidden and unheard voices. We believe in courage and curiosity and stories of joy, discovery and searing insight. We believe that the artists we have programmed across 2019 have the power to shape the future with their vision.
