Theatre Board New Work Grants

Before completing this application form, you should have read the  New Work Grant guidelines.

If you have any questions in regards to these eligibility criteria, please contact artistic@union.unimelb.edu.au

The University of Melbourne Theatre Board offers New Work Grants to student theatre groups to encourage creative risk and the development of original work (in any performing arts discipline).

Applications are accepted at any time throughout the year, however, the Theatre Board must receive an application at least four weeks prior to the project commencement date.

It is a requirement that the new work will result in a production/performance occurring within one year of the grant being approved. 

It is possible for applicants to apply for both a Theatre Board Creative Development Grant and a New Work Grant for the same project (as long as each application meets the requisite requirements and criteria).

Maximum funding: $2,000.

After submission, a face-to-face meeting must be made with Union House Theatre's Artistic Director to discuss the application. The Artistic Director will contact you once this application has been submitted to arrange a time.

Please Note:

Applicants must be Student Theatre Groups currently affiliated with Union House Theatre or an individual currently enrolled in any University of Melbourne Course (undergraduate or graduate).

 

Applicants can also apply for Underwriting as well as a New Work Grant for the same project.
