In 2026-2027, we are offering nine teams the opportunity to present ambitious independent theatre.

Belvoir was founded on “rough magic”, so we are looking for projects that are ready to meet the theatre-making provocation of this program. 

25A is a way for artists to practise and grow their craft. It is designed to limit the costs of putting on and presenting a show. The goal is that the maximum share of profit goes to people not overheads, and that teams can put their energy into making the work not the demands of producing.

We are looking for teams of artists that are excited about the task of putting on a show for $2500 or less. We want to support teams that are eager to grapple with the unique nature of the Downstairs Theatre, and hold the same theatrical values we hold ourselves to:

• Boldness
• Playfulness
• Collaboration
• Openness
• Love of Theatre

Think you are up for the challenge?

Please send EOI’s to [email protected] by FRIDAY 26 JUNE.
