Launchpad

Applications for Creative Engine's second round of Launchpad are now open!

Straight off the back of our inaugural (and hugely successful) Launchpad initiative, we are excited to announce that we’re giving artists another opportunity to develop and present their new works in development in ‘The Open House’.

Launchpad is a new initiative under Geelong Arts Centre’s Creative Engine program geared towards creating more pathways for artists to professional practice by bridging the gap between developing new work and having the platform to stage it.

This new initiative gives artists the opportunity to rehearse, test and present new work to audiences in a professional theatre setting.

Launchpad will provide up to three artists or creative teams with access to The Open House for up to two performances or presentations, with an additional five rehearsal days in the centre’s studio spaces.

Selected artists will also receive technical, marketing, front-of-house and ticketing support, along with general artistic development support from Geelong Art Centre's programming team.

Artists will take 100% box office sales (less booking fees, credit card charges and GST) and will have consultation with the Programming team to help determine ticket prices.

Performances/presentations will take place on either Tuesday 22 October, Thursday 24 October, Tuesday 29 October, Wednesday 30 October or Thursday 31 October in The Open House at Geelong Arts Centre.
