The entire week is fully catered (breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner) and we will provide transport between venues where required throughout each day.

If you're based regionally*, we will arrange your transport to Brisbane (i.e. flights, fuel, public transit, etc) and accommodation for the week.

If you're based in Brisbane, you will receive a $300 stipend to assist with daily transport costs.

Additional support may be offered on a case-by-case basis, if advised during the application process.

*individuals based outside the City of Brisbane LGA

Applicants must be 18+ and primarily based in Queensland.

The selection panel will be considering the following criteria when reviewing applications:

INDUSTRY KNOWLEDGE
Understanding of the performing arts landscape and the role of the producer within it. This could include knowledge of producing processes, funding pathways, and key organisations.

COMMITMENT
Clear motivation to build a long-term, sustainable career as an independent producer. This may include past experience, ongoing sector involvement, and/or a willingness to learn and grow.

PERSONABILITY
Strong interpersonal and communication skills are the hallmarks of a good producer. We’re looking for people who are respectful, open, and able to collaborate with a range of stakeholders.

REGIONALITY
A demonstrated existing, or desire to build, connections with regional or remote communities — either by location, the communities engaged, or the regional impact of the applicant’s work.

All eligible applications will be reviewed against the criteria by a selection panel of industry professionals. Shortlisted applicants will then be invited to interview with members of the panel.

There are 10 slots available for the program. Of the 10 participants, a minimum of 5 will be chosen from regional and remote Queensland. We also have First Nations identified places for at least 2 participants.

We will contact you via email if we have any questions, and to notify you of the outcome of your application.

We're not putting a strict definition on emerging.

However, this program is best suited for people who are early in their producing practice or who are looking to transition into producing from another practice.

If you make and mix (or "produce") music, then this intensive isn't for you.

However, if you have experience as, or interest in being, a tour manager, band manager, or agent, then this program may provide useful transferable skills or broaden your existing skills so that you can work with other types of artists.
