In this panel, we will imagine the possible trends, challenges and opportunities we can expect from the coming months and years in the performing arts. Topics will include funding, audience demographics, pipelines for original Australian work, networking, changes in collaboration techniques, and more. We’ll also hear from the panellists about what they would like to see more of and how artists working in and creating independent theatre can have an impact on shaping the industry.

Presented as part of the Antipodes Winter Lab, an annual development retreat aimed at showcasing new work and fostering connections within the performing arts community.
