Incubator Programme

ITS Coming Up

ITS Coming Up is our new incubator programme. We wanna support emerging improvisers, theatremakers, comedians, dreamers and schemers to make the cool new things they want to make.

It gives someone the space (our building) and the time (about 3 months) to develop one of their first shows — something that incorporates improvisation or spontaneity in some way.

Applications for ITS Coming Up are currently closed. You can find an indication of what’s included and what we would need from you in our information pack, available as a pdf or mp3.

I have a question!

We’re here to help! Email Jim Fishwick at jim@improvtheatresydney.com.au.
