Pathways for artists

As Australia’s cultural sector gets a top-down revamp with the announcement of Creative Australia, it’s important that as an industry we create grassroots pathways for professional development for artists at all points of their career. Here at La Mama Theatre, we are increasingly aware of this yawning gap that creators are crying out to have filled. We were overwhelmed with interest in our 2023 pilot Pathways program, showing not only a need for practical support and development of the work, but a deep longing for community in what can be an isolating vocation.
