For 60 years, Q Theatre has been bringing theatre to the people. In 2024, we continue to champion Western Sydney artists, stories, and communities; creating access to opportunities to learn, create, perform and participate.
Originate is a six-month theatre performance training program for pre-professional and emerging artists aged 18+ wanting to build skills, engage in a rigorous ensemble-based 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 physical and vocal training, experimentation, collaboration and creative problem-solving.
The Originate program culminates in a devised theatre production performed in the 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. Artists must be 18+ years to apply.
