IMAGERY from KXT2024 & KXT2023

THE LAST 10 YEARS In 2015 we launched with bAKEHOUSE Assoc Artist Michael Dean’s season of the avant-garde Roadkill Confidential by Sheila Callaghan and the year that followed included work directed by Rachel Chant, Priscilla Jackman, Kate Gaul, Suzanne Millar, Shane Bosher, Richard Hilliar, and Michael Abercromby.

Companies that jumped into the tiny KX stage included a recently launched Montague Basement, Tooth & Sinew, subtlenuance, bAKEHOUSE Theatre, Brilliant Adventures, and Siren theatre. That year casts included a lineup of familiar and fresh faces: Thomas Campbell, Elijah Williams, Dorian Nkono, Amanda Stephens-Lee, Jane Phegan, Poppy Lynch, Bobbie-Jean Henning, Harriet Gordon-Anderson, Julia Robertson, Madeleine Withington, Kurt Pemblett, Eve Beck, Kym Vercoe, Contessa Treffone, Joshua McElroy, Monica Sayers, Katie Shearer, Arisa Yura, Geraldine Viswanathan and Michael Whalley

Also included in the lineup in our first year was new work by Charle O’Grady, Noëlle Janaczewska, Jessica Tuckwell, Clare Hennessy, John Harrison, and Con and Michael Costi. Some of the Creatives who first wrestled with the traverse were Saro Lusty-Cavallari, Richard Neville (MandyLights), Ash Bell, Tegan Nicholls, Clemence Williams, Elia Bosshard, Benjamin Brockman, Bryce Halliday, Ella Butler and Matt Cox.

Ten years later we continue to champion early career artists working alongside experienced professionals, new writing, and ambitious, diverse companies and productions.

ANNOUNCING

In September this year CrissCross Productions are taking over KXT on Broadway to look after things while some of the bAKEHOUSE team take a break…


If you’ve worked at KXT on Broadway, or were a part of a season or program at KXT in the Cross, then you’ll be very familiar with Emily and Charlie! Along with managing FOH, Emily Buxton has been working in production and venue support since 2022. Charlie Vaux first jumped into KXT support with our Popupstairs program in Level 4 of the KX Hotel, and now works with us in the Artist Support programs Step Up, the bAKEHOUSE Residencies, and Storytellers. In March 2023 their newly formed company CrissCross Productions launched KXT on Broadway with their beautiful production of the 4-star hit Cherry Smoke.

Both Charlie and Emily were a part of the KXT Step Up mentoring programs, and it’s been wonderful to see their careers grow and flourish. CrissCross is the powerhouse behind Natives by Glenn Waldron; Undetermined Title by Angharad Wise; and Cherry Smoke by James McManus. Outside of KXT they’ve worked on seasons or events at other venues and with other companies, including ATYP, Redline, Nautanki theatre, Riverside, Purple Tape, and Panimo Creatives.

Charlie has been a part of a number of bAKEHOUSE seasons as both AD and SM, in particular Human Activity, Coram Boy and Dresden. And they’ve both worked closely with bAKEHOUSE on events, panels and engagement opportunities, most recently in the Vault on That’s What She Said and Your Name.

In September this year CrissCross Productions are taking over KXT on Broadway to look after things while some of the bAKEHOUSE team take a break. They’ll be taking care of the final seasons in KXT2024, with support from Chris Starnawski and bAKEHOUSE production manager Andrew McMartin. We know the old bank is in safe hands, and we’re excited to champion their next steps.

You’ll see one of them in the foyer - make sure you say hi!

Last night in Sydney the lights on Broadway got a lot brighter with the opening of the King Cross Theatre in their new location in an old bank building. With their KXT neon proudly in place, bAKEHOUSE has chosen Cherry Smoke by James McManus presented by CrissCross Productions as their first season, and it makes for a confronting night out.…skillful direction and engaging performances that bring a humanity into a seemingly hopeless situation. City Hub reviewing Cherry Smoke

There is no theatre more important than that which exposes wrong and inspires reaction… a carefully crafted piece of theatre that tells its message compellingly. Carol Wimmer, Stage Whispers reviewing That’s What She Said

… It’s excellent. It is all round excellent. If you missed this sparkling production of “Natives” you should be sorry. Theatre Travels reviewing Natives


ABOUT VENUE TAKEOVERS at KXT

Imagery L to R : Party Girl & Maa Ki Rasoi Purple Tape 2023; Maureen & A Little Piece of Ash JackRabbit 2019; Chef & Cherry Panimo 2022

Venue takeovers at KXT in the Cross and on Broadway have provided companies with genuine pathways for advancement, the opportunity to hone their practice and develop venue management skills, and to build their profile. In 2023 Purple Tape Productions delivered their Tape Over season showcasing three popup seasons of work by women and non-binary artists with a program of events in the KXT Vault. In 2022 Panimo Creatives hosted Pandemonium, a festival showcasing the work of new artists and in 2019 the HiJacked Rabbit season – the inaugural venue takeover hosted by JackRabbit productions - was a three month takeover packed with new Australian work.

STANDBY

for the announcement of the KXT24 Step up Team

- 2024 call out now closed -

young, lively and imbued with a feeling of magic - concrete playground

The bAKEHOUSE Step Up program is a bespoke mentoring program connecting emerging artists; providing pathways and opportunities; and nurturing new work. In 2023 the bAKEHOUSE Step up Mentoring program went on hiatus while we built KXT on Broadway.

We are excited to be relaunching this program in 2024.

Since opening we’ve been excited to welcome in early-stage directors, actors, producers, writers, designers, operators and to champion their work.  We love the fearlessness of youth, the ambition and passion that drives them headlong into risky and dangerous work. The drive to succeed and the willingness to fail. Some of the best bAKEHOUSE work has been bold, brave, ambitious. Occasionally flawed. Sometimes not. But we’ve been able to hone our craft because someone somewhere took a chance on us.

Someone said Yes.

There have been a lot of No’s. We pitched The Laden Table and Jatinga to all the venues and companies over three years, and they all said No. We took a world premiere script by an award winning living Australian legend to some of Sydney’s most accessible curated seasons and they didn’t like it *Dresden by Justin Fleming finally played a sold out season at KXT in June 2018. We were long listed for multiple seasons, and short listed for others and went to the meetings and wrote the submissions and they still said No. Sometimes we were invited in. For about 6 years we didn’t have enough experience. Then we'd been around too long. Then the work was too ambitious. The teams untried. The ideas too big. Or risky.

But we got enough Yes’s to make it work. To make the work.

Step Up is about saying YES. It’s about more than taking a risk - it’s about investing in risk. It’s about connecting people and communities, and seeing art emerge.

every KXT work in some way pushes forward the Sydney arts scene - its an opportunity for artists to experiment and create, and its a chance for the audience to see where our local performance culture is headed”

— Cassie Tongue, Time Out Sydney

SOMETHING SPECIAL

This year we announced something a little bit special for emerging artists

the inaugural KXT Awards for Excellence in Writing & Directing.

The KXT Awards for Excellence for emerging artists are to acknowledge quality work on the KXT on Broadway stage by artists early in their careers. We’re not fans of theatre as a competitive sport. However we do believe that excellence should be recognised - and sometimes in our very fast moving sector, where we quickly jump from one miraculous triumph to the next, it’s important to take time to pause and to celebrate. The degree of difficulty independent artists have to manage to make their work is deserving of recognition.

For our first year we recognised 2 categories with an award for excellence in writing and an award for excellence in directing. 

The Nominees for the 2023 KXT Award for excellence in writing:

JACOB PARKER for Dumb Kids

ERIC JIANG for Rhomboid

JOSEPHINE GAZARD for That’s What She Said

ERICA J BRENNAN for The Hero Leaves One Tooth

This year the Winner of the KXT Award for Excellence in Writing is JACOB PARKER, Dumb Kids

The winner of the KXT Awards for Excellence receive $1000 and a week in the KXT Vault for their current passion project.

Nominees for the 2023 KXT Award for excellence in directing

TIFFANY WONG for Boom

SAMMY JING for Rhomboid

CHARLIE VAUX for Cherry Smoke

SOPHIA BRYANT for Dumb Kids

This year the Winner of the KXT Award for Excellence in Directing is Sammy Jing, Rhomboid The winner of the KXT Awards for Excellence receive $1000 and a week in the KXT Vault for their current passion project.

With thanks to our partners at ELF Education and Learning Foundation


KXT2023 LOOK BACK

We move at a frantic pace in the independent sector. So every year we like to take a minute to look back before we move forward. And 2023 was an astonishing one for both KXT and bAKEHOUSE.

So. 2023. We began our year in the Cross with 4 seasons of work, incl 2 new Australian plays and a month long festival of queer work in development and production for Pride hosted by Sean Landis and Maddy Ghandi in the first full season of work from Fruit Box. Our final season in the Cross was the Australian premiere of Simon Longman’s Gundog pres by Secret House, the co-producers with New Ghosts theatre of the 2022 independent play of the year, directed by Anthony Skuse, featuring a visit from the UK-based playwright and receiving 4 and 5 star reviews.

On closing night of that show, a small team dropped the lights, cleared the chairs, put everything in a truck and drove it across town unloading everything by midnight to be installed for the inaugural show at KXT on Broadway, all ready for a building compliance inspection on Monday, and the bump in and production week for the first season. Our enormous thanks go to Virginia Plain theatre, Fruit Box, Secret House and Criss Cross productions who worked with us to make the transition to our new home in Ultimo as seamless as possible.

Also to Ben Brockman, Chris Starnawski, Emily Buxton, Charlie Vaux and countless volunteers who jumped in to carry chairs and lights and sound gear and boxes and endlessly mopped up building dust; to James Smithers who built the bar and decked out the change rooms; to Antony Mahklouf who’s beautiful artwork has graced both the Mountain St windows and the foyer wall; to the bAKEHOUSE Board Steve Newnham, Andrew McMartin, Matt Millar, Becks Blake, Michael Dean, and Renee Lim, for their moral, financial and practical support; to our new bar sponsors Atomic, and our venue staff Emily, Charlie, Bill and Aaron; our tertiary partners at UTS and Notre Dame; our builders Shannon and Dan (who built walls on the floor and managed an old fashioned barn raising but make it theatre); to our plumbers and sparkies and painters and acoustic engineers who worked miracles on a budget and schedule…


…and John and I want to personally thank Andrew who has somehow managed to keep us somewhat sane through it all.


We think it’s important to note that this all happened in a year when yet another small indie venue closed, the 3rd in under 2 years. We certainly hope that all the reports and surveys currently underway designed to bring change to the culture and arts sectors of Australia recognise the critical role that small venues play, and that supporting theatres like KXT is supporting artists

Since moving to Ultimo on the 13 March - only an exhausting 10 months ago - KXT on Broadway has delivered a further 15 seasons and 2 festivals; and our new space the KXT Vault has allowed us to support 17 developments; an additional 2 pop up seasons; and provide 10 weeks of free rehearsal space.

Bringing this year’s KXT stats to 23 seasons of work; 13 weeks of rehearsal support; 12 world premieres: 16 Australian premieres; 7 seasons of work led by artists of colour; 15 women-led productions; while providing space for something like 300 artists. Meanwhile downstairs in the Vault we made space for 24 artists developing work, alongside countless actors - seriously we lost track …

Audiences also moved with us from the Cross to Broadway, and while we’re still crunching the final numbers we can report 2023 included a number of sold out seasons. We’ve also seen new audiences from the creative hub that is Chippendale, Glebe and Newtown, and our new neighbourhood is fast developing as a centre for the arts in Sydney. KXT on Broadway is home to multiple value-adding Artist programs: the Vault at KXT; Storytellers Festival; KXT Crossroads events; bAKEHOUSE Residencies; step Up mentoring, the laboratory and StoryLines. Each year we program new work that comes through our Artist Support programs: we’re proud to say that when you’re programmed at KXT you become part of a fresh and exciting community of artists & audience delivering new Australian work

This year our additional space downstairs means we have been able to focus on expanding developments. Previous work supported through the bAKEHOUSE Residency program include: Hubris & Humiliation by Lewis Treston led by Rily Spadaro and Pheobe Pilcher; The Italians by Danny Ball led by Danny Ball, Thomas D’Angelis and Emma O’Sullivan; Symphonie Fantastique by the Little Eggs Collective led by Mathew Lee and Julia Robertson; The Monologue Collective the brainchild of Laneikka Denne; U.B.U. by Tooth and Sinew with Richard Hilliar and Nicole Wineberg at the helm; Feminazi by Laneikka Denne; Porpoise Pool by Jojo Zhou led by Eve Beck and Bite Productions. All this miraculously during a pandemic on a tiny stage in the Cross, squeezed in between back to back seasons. Now with the KXT Vault downstairs it is a true joy to us to be able to have a home for new work. A special shout-out to Charlie Vaux who works with us in Artist Support, to be sure we can offer so much to so many independent and emerging artists.

There was a moment in March this year as Gundog closed out our 8 years in the Cross, when the director of the first show at KXT Michael Dean sat on stage and chatted with Anthony Skuse the director of the final show. We’ll dig through the records at some point and come up with the actual numbers, however we can say that thousands of artists have worked on the KXT stage since its inception late in 2015. And hundreds of artists who began their careers here, learning the lessons that can only be learned in the cauldron of production, are now working at STC, Belvoir, Griffin, Darlinghurst Theatre Co, ensemble, Malthouse, Melbourne Theatre Co, even the UKs Punchdrunk. While we’re not claiming credit for all of these successes, we are certainly proud to have been able to offer support, guidance and pathways to so many along the way. In 2024 we’ll be relaunching STEP UP, the KXT Mentoring program; and the Laboratory, our investment in emerging writers and their work
