Call out for Brisbane nooks and crannies
Anywhere Festival Invites Brisbane Residents to Transform Everyday Spaces into Extraordinary Performance Venues
Brisbane, Australia – February 19, 2025 – The acclaimed Anywhere Festival is calling upon Brisbane residents and business owners to open their homes, workplaces, and unconventional spaces to host performances for the upcoming festival season. This unique event, founded in 2011 by Artistic Director Paul Osuch, reimagines traditional theatre by bringing performances to unexpected locations, making art accessible to all.
“We believe that theatre can happen anywhere,” says Osuch. “By inviting the community to offer their spaces, we’re breaking down barriers between performers and audiences, creating intimate and memorable experiences.”
The festival has a rich history of transforming diverse venues—from backyards and living rooms to warehouses and local businesses—into vibrant stages. This approach not only showcases Brisbane’s eclectic architecture but also fosters a deeper connection between artists and the community.
“Hosting a performance is a fantastic way to support local artists and bring culture directly into your neighborhood,” Osuch adds. “It’s about making art a part of everyday life.”
Residents and business owners interested in participating can register their spaces through the festival’s official website or directly at https://anywhere.is/venue-eoi/. The process is straightforward, and the festival team provides guidance to ensure each venue is performance-ready.
“Whether you have a cozy living room, a spacious backyard, or a unique business setting, we encourage you to be part of this exciting movement,” says Osuch. “Together, we can turn the entire city into a stage.”
