History
Launched in February 2018 as a company founded to support emerging artists in establishing professional careers, with a focus on Market Theatre Laboratory graduates. Each year, emerging theatre makers are invited to an open audition process through which a small company of exciting young talents are identified. The company is supported by the collaborating partners with a framework and resources to create an exciting programme of new and dynamic theatre pieces over the course of a year.
By the end of 2019 the company had already garnered international tour invitations, two Naledi award nominations, and two awards at the National Arts Festival.
