Australia's Program for Emerging Artists

LEARN FROM THE PEOPLE CREATING THEATRE TODAY

Learn Inside the Industry. Every artist deserves the opportunity to learn where theatre actually happens.

The Residency is a nine-month immersive musical theatre experience designed for emerging artists who are ready to take the next step.

Whether you’re leaving school, continuing your training, already working professionally or returning to performance, you will become part of an environment where theatre isn’t simply taught; it is created every day.

Productions are rehearsed.

Sets are built.

Lighting is programmed.

Orchestras rehearse.

Audiences arrive.

Artists collaborate.

This is more than where you’ll train.

It’s where you’ll belong.

The Residency is a collective of directors, choreographers, musical directors, producers, casting professionals and performers whose work spans Broadway, the West End and Australia’s leading commercial productions.

These are artists actively creating theatre today.

Over nine months they won’t simply teach you techniques – they’ll mentor you, challenge you, share their experience and help you develop the professionalism, discipline and artistry that the profession demands.

THE EXPERIENCE

The Residency is designed to immerse you in the life of professional theatre.

Over nine months you will:

     – Develop advanced acting, singing and dance skills.

     –Train alongside exceptional theatre professionals.

     Experience the rhythm and expectations of a producing theatre.

     –Collaborate with like-minded emerging artists.

     –Rehearse and perform in a fully staged musical production.

     –Build the confidence, discipline and resilience needed for a career in the performing arts.

Every day is another opportunity to grow not only as a performer, but as an artist and collaborator.

A PLACE TO GROW. A PLACE TO BELONG.

The greatest opportunities don’t just develop talent.

They develop people.

At The Residency you’ll be surrounded by mentors who invest in your future and artists who inspire, challenge and support one another.

You’ll build lifelong friendships.

Discover new confidence.

Develop resilience.

Find your artistic voice.

And become part of a community that celebrates excellence, generosity and collaboration.

For families, that’s the greatest reassurance of all: knowing the artist you love has found an environment where they can flourish, both on stage and beyond it.

YOUR JOURNEY IS YOUR OWN.

There is no single pathway into a career in musical theatre.

Every artist’s journey is different.

What matters is your commitment to your craft, your willingness to learn and your ambition to keep growing.

If you’re ready to challenge yourself, immerse yourself in a professional creative environment and take your next step with purpose, The Residency is ready to welcome you.

Because when you join The Residency, you don’t simply enrol.

You become part of a company.
