Artist Call Out for Alphabetti Theatre's Creative Carnival 'Let's Create, Not Apply' - Applications Now Open!

Alphabetti Theatre’s upcoming Joyful Punk season will kick off with a new creative carnival called Let’s Create, Not Apply and applications are now open for artists.

Let’s Create, Not Apply! is a much-needed platform for artists to perform – in today’s climate the life of a creative is all too often spent filling out applications and pitches instead of creating. Applying and waiting is a way of life for freelancers, and it needs to change! 

Departing Artistic Director and founder, Ali Pritchard starts off his final season with Alphabetti by calling out to local artists to be a part of this unique defiance – fuelled by joy, laughter, art and community. 

Ali states “We understand the frustrations of endless applications, which is why we've simplified the process to make it as easy as possible. So, join us and be part of Let’s Create, Not Apply.

“Despite our weariness and disillusionment with the current state of affairs, we refuse to merely lament. Instead, let’s raise our voices with a grin and embark on a mission to enact positive change.”

Alphabetti Theatre aims to provide opportunities for artists to CREATE instead of battling through the red tape of applications and funding. The carnival is a defiant rally against lack of creative opportunities and support in the arts, and an opportunity to be a part of something wonderful and all too rare – a stage supported by community, not bids.

That said, artists do still need to submit one form so Alphabetti can make sure their event is a good fit for the venue but they aim to stay yes to as many artists as possible. It is a space for artists to experiment, evolve and discover excellence and Alphabetti want to support artists to focus on their performance and will provide the following for every selected piece:

• 70% net box office split
• Technical support
• Free rehearsal space (subject to availability)
• Basic marketing support
• Artist discount at the bar
