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.

You can find out more about what’s included and what we need from you in our information pack, available as a pdf or mp3.

Applications for the spring/summer season of ITS Coming Up are now closed. Late applications may be considered until the end of August 2026. Please email Jim Fishwick at jim@improvtheatresydney.com.au to discuss.

I have a question!

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