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.
