Tēnā koutou,
BATS programme runs seasonally 4 times a year. We understand that this format may not suit every artist or there may be gaps in our programme we’re eager to fill, so we warmly welcome pitches year-round through this form*.
*If you need a long lead in time and are wanting to confirm programming 3+ months beforehand, please email Sarai as well as fill in the form.
BATS welcomes work from first time theatre-makers, through to established artists that are returning to BATS to experiment and develop new work. We are accepting submissions for any and all types of live art to present in any of our theatre spaces:
The Stage - 85 seats
The Dome - 67 seats
The Studio - 40 seats
Our priority is 5 night seasons or longer, we will consider smaller seasons under special circumstances.
Please see our BATS Artist Handbook for important information around our processes and timelines. If you have questions this handbook or this webpage of resources is likely to answer them.
Got an idea for something different? Exhibition in our Pit Gallery Space? Wānanga? Activation? You can also use this form, just fill out as much details as possible/relevant.
If filling out this form is inaccesible for you or you have questions before pitching, please contact our Programming Coordinator, Sarai, via programming@bats.co.nz.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
