2025 Brisbane Anywhere Festival Stage 1 (One Off)

Description

You are invited to develop your work for 2025 Brisbane Anywhere Festival.

We have split the standard $295 participation fee we had ever year of Anywhere Festival (except for 2024) into two to make it easier for you to spread the costs and also to acknowledge that a  large part is getting mostly new projects ready for the program. We have also added in the ability to pay in instalments.

Stage 1 is about developing your idea into a full concept, locking in a location and all the details for the festival program. Once that all happens, Stage 2 is confirming you are in the program and then rehearsing, marketing and presenting in the festival.

The first stage begins when you are invited based on your Expression of Interest, developing your idea, finding a location, working with us to ensure your show fits within the festival so you are ready to confirm for the print and online program. Get access to our resources and the Anywhere Festival team to develop your show, and source rent-free or minimal cost non-traditional performance spaces. You’ll also join our online artist group, attend workshops, and receive discounts with partner organisations. $145

Next is Stage 2: Rehearse, Market and Present in the Festival

Once your show concept, location and details are ready lock in for the print and online program with a sliding amount based on the number of ticket to sell. We’ve done this to make it easier for small scale one off shows – particularly back yard gigs – to be part of the festival and to provide the level of support required for bigger shows. This is $85 for 50 seats  + $50 / every 100 seats of capacity.

Every participant must do Stage 1 before Stage 2 to ensure the concept pitched and accepted is festival ready before being confirmed in the program.

Refund Policy

There are no refunds. We have broken up the process into Stage 1 and 2 so that you get the benefits of each Stage immediately. Stage 1 provides the resources to get your concept ready for the print program. If you decide not to proceed to Stage 2 for whatever reason, you still continue to get access to the resources, artist pass, workshops, etc.
