La Boite champions collaboration
- starting with our artists

Our Artist Development Programs inspire creativity, from commissions to dedicated developments of new work, to workshops and participation in our annual LB HWY Festival. 

These programs are led by a commitment to collaborative practice, an exchange of creativity and skills, an ongoing conversation about theatre in Australia, and a drive to expand our reach and diversify voices on the La Boite stage.
