Expand your craft
upskilling our local creative community
La Boite prioritises the makers and shapers of new Australian works through opportunities for upskilling the local creative industry with a suite of skills development programs and a broad range of artist development opportunities.
These programs and opportunities aim to be a pipeline for artists, designed to inspire creativity and drive to expand our reach and diversify voices at La Boite Theatre.
Keep your eyes peeled as we launch more exciting programs during 2024!
#Skills Development Programs
Artist Masterclasses
Our acclaimed Masterclass series continues in 2025 with two sensational artist focused sessions across the year. These 2-hour sessions will speak about key aspects of artistic life, practice and will be led by industry professionals sharing their advice and techniques, each culminating in a facilitated Q&A session! An excellent opportunity for artists to peek behind-the-scenes and audit creative practice.
Assembly+
It’s our birthday, and we’re celebrating – Assembly just got bigger and better!
In celebration of our 100th year of operation, we’ve supercharged La Boite’s flagship artist development program into ASSEMBLY+ – a six-month program inviting nine writers, nine directors and eighteen actors aged 18+ and in their first five years of professional practice, to create a brand new short work for the stage.
