PRESENTED BY PERFORMANCE SPACE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH PACT CENTRE FOR EMERGING ARTISTS
Your chance to see fresh new work-in-progress from some of so-called Australia’s most dynamic queer artists working across performance, drag, dance, poetry, film, parties and everything in between.
The culmination of Performance Space's Queer Development Program (QDP), this showcase is a much-loved celebration in which our QDP artists share never-before-seen experiments and short performances. Get a taste of cutting-edge queer practice and meet our amazing artists in a warm and intimate setting across two big nights.
Soak up creative energy, revel in new ideas, and immerse yourself in an experience like no other as we celebrate the end of our 2025 QDP!
