work developed through the bAKEHOUSE Residency program has gone onto stages across Sydney and other cities: plays like the award-winning STC season of Hubris & Humiliation; Megan Wilding's stunning debut A Little Piece of Ash; work featured in the 25a program at Belvoir, incl Porpoise Pool & Feminazi; prize winning plays like the recent Patrick White winner REALish by Wendy Mocke, and Griffin Award Finalists Your Name by Kate Bubalo & Animal by Cassie Hamilton; and more
KXT24 features 10 world premieres

SPACE
the bAKEHOUSE Residency Program runs out of the KXT Vault. Downstairs beneath KXT on Broadway, whisper quiet, fresh and bright - a dedicated space for the exclusive use of artists
★
TIME
You will have access to the Vault across allocated dates and times. Note that these times are arranged to not coincide with performances on the KXT on Broadway stage. In 2024 we are hoping to allocate blocks of 2 and 3 consecutive days to best utilise the space

If you’re part of the bAKEHOUSE Residency program you’re part of the KXT Community, and members of the KXT Creative Team are available for dramturgical input and feedback. We’ll also be available to chat with you about best next steps for your work

★ first reads

this call out is for the period JUNE - STEPEMBER and it is unlikely that we will be able to provide space to all applicants.
a great deal of time and care is taken in offering space: once allocated we ask that the Residency is used as accepted. Cancelled sessions means others have missed out on the opportunities the Vault offers
