Emerge Sessions - Student & Emerging Artists EOI

Call out for Student & Emerging Artists

The Blue Room Theatre is launching a new initiative offering student artists and performers the opportunity to present a 30-minute set on Thursday nights after our season shows.

These post-show sessions are designed to give new and emerging artists a chance to trial their work in front of a welcoming audience, while also helping to keep The Blue Room Bar buzzing after performances during our season program.

We’re inviting a range of musical performance styles.

Solo artists and small acts (1–3 performers) are strongly encouraged to apply.
Please note:
• This is an unpaid opportunity.
• Submitting an EOI does not guarantee inclusion in the program.
• Session times will be allocated by Blue Room staff based on several factors, including the information provided in your application.
• Please ensure all links provided are public and accessible (not password-protected).

To keep the sessions easy to manage, performances should be unplugged or minimal-tech where possible; for example, acoustic or plug-and-play setups without heavy technical requirements.
The more detail you provide about your work and performance style, the better we can consider your application.
