STAB 2006

So here’s your opportunity to dream up a cutting edge performance experience. Pitch your vision to BATS, and potentially be commissioned to turn it into a startling reality.

The deadline for expressions of interest is Friday 17 March.

Contact BATS Theatre for more information.

All About STAB 2006

STAB originated in 1995 from BATS’ desire to initiate a commission that allowed theatre artists to experiment in a supportive environment. The STAB commission is an essential part of the BATS annual programme and can be accessed by all performance media; dance, theatre, opera, music, film, magic and interactive media. STAB has grown over the years to have a solid framework and process. The total commissioning amount for 2006 is $60,000.

The aim of STAB is:

· To secure and provide a significant level of funding (the commission) to support the creation of cutting edge, revolutionary performance work.

· To commission new New Zealand performance work.

· To support this work from inception through a production process to presentation.

· To present at least two productions in the STAB season annually.

· To promote BATS as the most exciting, cutting edge theatre in New Zealand with its finger on the pulse.
