About Summer Nights
Straddling the scorching seasons of Birak and Bunuru, we come together at The Blue Room Theatre to bask in good company and share in a summer festival of performance: a whirlwind of new collaborations, social commentary, dance, theatrical playfulness, and heartfelt stories. Works are shorter than the 2027 Season, require less tech and can be packed up swiftly before and after.
About 2027 Season
Our main program, the cornerstone of The Blue Room Theatre’s artistic program, runs from July to November. Each year, it sees independent new works offered unparalleled support from conception to presentation in our black box theatre spaces. The season is diverse in form, content, genre, artists and practice. The focus is on a team developing a work over a few months and sustaining a presentation season for up to 15 performances. Teams have exclusive access to the theatres to bring their vision to life.
About EVOLVE
The Blue Room Theatre and STRUT Dance partner to support a presentation opportunity within TBRT’s 2027 Season for an emerging dance maker (in the first 5 years of making). The selected artists/s will present a movement-based work for 2-3 weeks of performance that has undergone a development, showing or presentation in the past.
In addition to the 2027 Season deal and ongoing support regularly offered by TBRT, the selected emerging artist/s will also receive additional support from STRUT Dance to facilitate the presentation. Applicants must be current STRUT Members and be living and working in Western Australia for at least 6 of the last 12 months.
