Artist Development Assembly2027

Assembly returns in 2027, continuing it’s legacy of developing the next generation of Queensland artists.

Now in its ninth year, La Boite’s flagship artist development initiative brings together seven writers, seven directors and fourteen actors aged 18+ for a six-month creative journey.

Together, they create seven brand-new short works for the stage, each just 10 minutes long.

Participants collaborate closely with their peers, work directly with industry professionals and La Boite staff, and take part in targeted masterclasses and workshops designed to build skills, confidence and creative agility.

Assembly fosters sustained creative engagement, opens pathways into the industry and deepens each artist’s practice as they step into the next stage of their career.

Shaped through mentorship, masterclasses and hands-on collaboration with some of the industry’s leading artists, as well as La Boite’s artistic team, these seven works offer a glimpse of what’s emerging from the next generation of Queensland theatre-makers.

Presented across two showcase performances in the Roundhouse Theatre, Assembly is an energetic and exciting snapshot of what’s next.
