Breakout Makes is a new pilot program presented by The Mill. It is designed to provide performing artists with a regular platform for sharing newly developed work with audiences as part of a showcase, alongside other local makers.
Breakout Makes aims to build an open and inclusive community of makers across different disciplines - including dance, theatre, physical theatre, improv, spoken word, cabaret, music, and interdisciplinary performance - 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.
The pilot will run in June to October 2024, with showings at 3:30pm and 6:30pm on Friday, August 30, featuring up to five 10-minute acts.
Pricing
Breakout Makes is priced at $200, which includes 10 hours in The Breakout and inclusion in our August or October showings. We encourage artists to book additional hours, available at a 50% discounted rate.
