Summer Program
Applications for this round are now closed.
Following the announcement that The Blue Room Theatre will not be producing our traditional Summer Nights program in 2021, we are now thrilled to release this call out as the first in a rolling series of new opportunities for artists to engage and present at The Blue Room Theatre next year.
MoveMoveMove and 900 Seconds are two programs that build on the success and history of previous short works programs, MicroMove and 600 Seconds. Four weeks of dance, theatre and performance will be curated by four fantastic artists who will mentor the creation of a total of 21 new short works, presented to audiences across January – February 2021.
Through these programs, The Blue Room Theatre will provide opportunities for early and mid-career artists alike. All applicants and pitches should demonstrate a consideration of the vision and/or creative provocation of their desired curator/mentor and a desire to meaningfully engage with the mentorship offer.
Applications for this round are now closed.

900 Seconds – In this twist on The Blue Room Theatre Summer Nights favourite 600 Seconds, six original 15–minute works will be presented each week for three weeks across January – February 2021. Three mid-career performance makers, Joe Lui, Bernadette Lewis and Jo Morris will curate and mentor a week each, providing a vision for applicants to respond to and a framework of mentorship that is tailored to the programmed works each week.
MoveMoveMove – Curated and mentored by Tyrone Earl Lraé Robinson MoveMoveMove will showcase a collection of three dynamic 15–minute works that embrace opportunities to play with new performance spaces and celebrate the rigour and innovation of contemporary dance. The program will not only provide an opportunity to engage and support independent dance artists during Perth’s summer season, but will also deepen audience engagement and experience of contemporary dance practice, providing a gateway to new audiences with a unique experience of local, fresh, playful taster performances.
