Next year marks the 10th anniversary of its hallmark project, Originate, a six-month theatre 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 Company team and leading industry professionals, Originate participants build their performance skills through training, experimentation, collaboration and creative problem-solving. The program culminates in a theatre production performed live on stage at The Joan in Penrith and connects young artists with a world of creative career pathways and possibilities.
Originate is open to emerging artists in the first five years of their performance practice. Q Theatre Company champions the development and growth of local western Sydney artists and those living, working or with a connection to the area are strongly encouraged to apply.
"Originate was a life changing experience that enriched my skills and confidence to pursue a practice in the arts... I could not recommend this program enough." - Olivia Niethe, Originate 2023 artist.
