Next Gen - Indian Ink Theatre Company

This programme is so fantastic and I will keep singing it's praises to any emerging artist I know!

Being able to reflect on why it is that we do what we do, so we can be fueled up and launched into our careers

It's a hands-on approach to seeing how a company operates

We have this amazing cohort of young people who love theatre

A deep, rich, bespoke engagement with Indian Ink for 18-29 year olds passionate about theatre.

Next Gen is your backstage pass to Indian Ink’s way of creating theatre – from producing, writing, directing, performing and more. It’s an opportunity for rangatahi to learn how our theatre company works with a mixture of workshops and community-building gatherings to connect you to our company and to connect you to the theatre maker you want to be.

Our programme is best suited to emerging artists who are interested in connecting with others through a love of theatre, those who want to expand their knowledge and create their own work, and creatives who have the capacity to commit to a series of workshops over the next year.

Next Gen applications are now closed. Please contact Programme Leader, Manuka with any questions on [email protected]
