For 60 years, Q Theatre has been bringing theatre to the people. In 2023, we continue to champion Western Sydney artists, stories, and communities; creating access to opportunities to learn, create, perform and participate.
To mark the ninth anniversary of this hallmark project, Originate has been remodelled as a six-month theatre training program for pre-professional and emerging artists aged 18+ who are wanting to build skills and engage in a performance practice, and take the next step in pursuing a career in the performing arts.
Led and supported by the Q Theatre team and leading industry professionals, Originate participants build their performance skills through training, experimentation, collaboration and creative problem-solving.
The Originate program culminates in a devised theatre production performed live at Q Theatre – and provides young artists with the opportunity to open their eyes to a world of creative career pathways and possibilities.
Originate is open to pre-professional and emerging artists in the first 5 years of their performance practice. Q Theatre champions the development and growth of local Western Sydney artists and those living, working or with a connection to Western Sydney and Greater Western Sydney are strongly encouraged to apply.
We welcome EOIs from artists across all levels of experience and disciplines – you could be an actor, writer, musician, digital artist, or spoken word poet. If you are wanting to build skills and engage in a performance practice, please apply below. Artists must be 18+ years to apply.
