In December 2015, the youth arts sector nationally suffered a major blow when 10 out of 13 companies – including Backbone Youth Arts (QLD), Canberra Youth Theatre (ACT), Cirkidz (SA) and Southern Edge Arts (WA) – failed to secur 2016 project funding from the Australia Council. (An additional company, Australian Theatre for Young People, was supported through a separate funding stream.)
