Join us for the first Breakout Makes showing, showcasing three local artists in a fun and intimate variety show.

Breakout Makes is a new pilot program designed to provide artists with a regular platform for sharing newly developed work with audiences.

Aiming to build an open and inclusive community of makers across different disciplines and to bring audiences into the process of making new work, encouraging them to value the ‘blood, sweat and tears’ that goes into creating a performance.
