An innovative, physical-based actor-training programme, Creative Edge draws on I Theatre’s unique style of Clowning, Puppetry, Physical & Devised Theatre to prepare young professionals for the challenges of entering the industry.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us through email or call us at 6341 5960.

Creative Edge is an 18-month long training programme, consisting of a training phase and a production phase. The training phase will require a commitment of 10 hours a week, with term breaks. Actors-in-training will be taught by a team of instructors with working links to the industry. Commitment will increase during the production phase (January – June 2016), as actors are required to participate in both productions in every capacity as part of their training requirements. Both productions are professionally staged and supported by I Theatre & NAC. To make this programme accessible to all youth regardless of social background, Creative Edge is charging a nominal fee for the entire course, which can be waived based on financial need.
