What We Do

Performing Lines WA nurtures the development of independent West Australian theatre and dance artists. We provide advice and support where we can, and seek suitable contexts to develop, produce and tour the work of selected artists.

Performing Lines WA help artists get their projects off the ground. We offer managing and producing services to four core theatre and dance artists in WA on an ongoing basis and produce the work of other independent artists on a project basis.

Our services include:

• Creative Producing: we get new work onto the stage;
• Touring: we seek and support regional, national and international touring opportunities;
• Financial management: we help artists get the funds they need and manage the budget for individual projects;
• Production: we manage the technical and production aspects of performances;
• Strategic and business planning: we support artists planning for a sustainable future and identify opportunities for development;
• Marketing and communications: we get West Australian artists seen and heard.

How can you become a core artist?
Core artists are chosen according to our Artistic Policy. From time to time we may take on a new core artist. This opportunity will be advertised through this website and industry publications.

What can you do to improve your chances of becoming a core artist?
Let us know what you are doing. Invite us to see your productions or to hear you speak about your work. Keep in touch.
