ABOUT…

The Popupstairs program is an innovative use of space. Partnering with KX Hotel to share the use of the Bordello room KXT has installed a simple lighting rig, set up seating for 60, and opened the doors to Sydney’s indie mavericks.

MORE…

We’re offering space, some online promotion and in-room support. The room is a multi-use venue which means that Popupstairs operates off a fringe model, and is suitable for short seasons of new or experimental work, on selected dates throughout the year.

Popupstairs is a creative space sharing program. From time to time here may be some noise spill from other events in the hotel
