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.

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.

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

NEW WRITING AT KXT ON BROADWAY - 2024

in 2024 we’ve programmed new writing that has come through the bAKEHOUSE Residencies program; the Storylines platform; and the Storytellers Festival. Check back for more


NEW WRITING AT KXT ON BROADWAY - 2023

KXT2023 showcased 9 new Australian plays; hosted 15 bAKEHOUSE Residencies in the KXT Vault; and delivered the 4th iteration of the stunningly successful Storytellers Festival

in the KXT2023 season we programmed 2 plays from the Storytellers season; s from the Laboratory; and 1 from the Panimo Pandemonium season.

This year, Sydney Theatre Company launched their 2023 season with the acclimaed Hubris and Humiliation by Lewis Treston, picked up after a development and showcase at KXT at the end of 2022.

4 of the recent productions playing at Belvoir in their 25a season in the downstairs theatre began their life at KXT: 2 in the bAKEHOUSE Residency program; 1 as part of our Open the Door program following Covid lockdowns.

This year three of the 4 finalists for the Griffin Award have had their early work supported and staged at KXT, including Kate Bubalo’s Your Name which featured as a play read in the Purple Tape season earlier in the year.

HUMAN ACTIVITY - Directors Notes

Human Activity is the final puzzle piece in the work that I began in Kamathipura 10 years ago. It’s been a glorious and challenging project, mostly rewarding: the young girls that live in the laneways of Asia’s oldest and largest red light district now have an arts program run by Clowns Without Borders and the Brett Lee Music Centre. Girls have traveled - on a plane! - to international children’s theatre festivals. We’ve supported a program to train women in hair salons, to provide them with an opportunity to change their lives. We’ve seen a night shelter established for the most vulnerable tots and toddlers from the local brothels. On the way we worked alongside, partnered with and were inspired by some titans of Indian theatre. We’ve established an arts exchange, hosting 4 Mumbai artists in Sydney and sending 4 from Sydney to Mumbai.

Sometimes the big wild ideas take off. Human Activity is a companion piece to Jatinga, a play inspired by the stories of the girls I met in Kamathipura, commissioned by bAKEHOUSE and written and developed by playwright Purva Naresh, Aarambh theatre and a team of actors at bAKEHOUSE. In 2017 we put India on a tiny stage in KX and played a sold out and acclaimed season. 

In 2017 I wrote this about Jatinga: “It’s just a play. And it’s not going to change the world in any big way. But the work of building it, and the context of its development, and the stories it tells, has changed the world for a few girls”. Human Activity is an Australian response to the big ideas of Jatinga: that at the point where our lives intersect there is an opportunity for love and compassion: that a little play can say a big thing; that theatre and art can both reflect and transcend life; that new and different is good - in theatre, in life.

Katie’s play is a uniquely Australian response to that season. Determinedly Australian yet somehow touched by Indian playmaking, universal in its story and themes, it begins with the idea that our lives intersect and our experiences are shared. We’ve put together a cast that looks like no other you’ll see in Sydney this year, with 21 year olds working on their first production alongside veterans in their 70s. You may have seen some on stages for Belvoir, Riverside, Monkey Baa and KXT. There are those who have lived in Sydney their whole lives, others who have been here for only a few years. Most have traveled to rehearsals from the outer edges of Sydney, (and will be pleased when we transfer to Riverside theatres in October!)

It’s the final piece of a complex 10 year puzzle, driven by compassion, and generosity, and deep care for those who find themselves alone. It is a strange lovely hybrid thing: heavily influenced by the poetry and storytelling of its origins in Indian theatre making, written for and speaking to an Australian audience, locked deep in recent culture and events. Thank you for giving it your time.

INVESTING IN THE FUTURE  

Since launching KXT in 2015 bAKEHOUSE has invested significantly in the development of new voices, providing a safe space for some of our most exciting and adventurous new work, and offering support and guidance to the next generation of important storytellers. We have grown and expanded with the help of countless artists and allies committed to change and transformation. 

That we have done this without Federal or State Funding is a testament to the passion and commitment of our team, our supporters, and fellow artists.

In 2023 we moved to our new home at KXT on Broadway. We are proud of the theatre we have built: a meeting place for artists and audiences alike; an incubator for new work; and an artistic landmark connecting people and art.

We have been fortunate to receive funding that has helped us to cover some of the cost of our beautiful new home. However, the costs of building a new theatre are extensive and in 2024 we have set ourselves the target of raising $45,000 to keep the Broadway Lights on. With the investment of generous donors and supporters we are already nearing the halfway mark. We are asking for your help to support Sydney’s most dynamic and accessible theatre. Your generosity is an investment in the art and artists of the future.

THE KXT VAULT

SUPPORTING ARTISTS In 2023, we have moved into our new home at KXT On Broadway. One of the most exciting things about the venue is that it comes with an additional space which allows us to significantly increase our capacity to support artists

While at KXT in the Cross, programs such as Step Up, Storytellers, The Laboratory, bAKEHOUSE Residencies, and Popupstairs had to be squeezed in whenever we could find a spare room or a gap in the schedule.

At KXT On Broadway, we have a dedicated space to offer support all year round, at no cost to artists.

This brilliant new space is The KXT Vault. In the Vault we’ll be running artist support programs and community engagement initiatives, and offering artists time for the development of new work

PERFORMANCE: The KXT Vault is not an additional theatre – we’re flat out running one of those! However, from time to time we’ll be curating some bespoke performances in the Vault that connect with the space in innovative ways or are the centerpiece of a significant community engagement initiative. This is not the place for a published play. Rather: we’ll make room for something highly experimental, or closely connected with community.

To show you what we mean: in January MKA Theatre and bAKEHOUSE joined forces to present NOBODY SPECIAL in the KXT Vault playing: theatre for an audience of 1 – an audient – a response to the covid capacity restrictions placed on theatres. You can read more on the link below

So what is the Vault for??

DEVELOPMENT: . At different points throughout the year, we’ll be opening up for expressions of interest from artists and companies for development opportunities in the Vault – the bAKEHOUSE Residencies done right! in this way it’s possible to quickly find a home for the wild new idea without having to wait for an annual call out.

ENGAGEMENT: introducing the David Bathur Creative Fellowship, investing in the building blocks of ground breaking artistic work; social justice initiatives; community engagement; or similar.

COMMUNITY: bAKEHOUSE works with companies at KXT to raise awareness and funds for an extraordinary number of Not For Profits and Community based organisations, to build relationships, and to engage in radical community support. The KXT Vault is where Community x Art meet

A stand out hit from the 2022 Storytellers festival Josephines one-woman play charted the experience of a young woman following a sexual assualt in her university college room. Playing a sold out season in the KXT Vault through May 2023 the CrissCross team worked with KXT & bAKEHOUSE to present a program of work featuring panels, partnerships and workshops with college students, Sydney University, With You We Can, The Survivor Hub, and St Andrews College
