HELP US DO BIG THINGS!

For over two decades, Contemporary Asian Australian Performance has been dedicated to uplifting Asian Australian artists and fostering a more inclusive theatre industry.

IT'S BEEN OUT BIGGEST YEAR YET!

In the past year alone we :

• Premiered The Story of Chi with Terrapin at OzAsia Festival, CAAP’s first-ever work for children and families
• Premiered Milestone, a landmark new work by William Yang, at Sydney Festival and Asia TOPA  celebrating the legacy of a founding CAAP artist and storyteller
• Returned The Bridal Lament to Sydney Festival, bringing Rainbow Chan’s powerful work to audiences at Riverside Theatres Parramatta
• Supported 37 playwrights across the country to gain new skills and mentorship through Playwrights Lab. Supported by Constellation Creatives.
• Held big conversations through our Longhouse program across the country and premiered five new works from Asian Australian artists at our annual Works-in-Progress event, giving artists a vital platform and providing a forum to explore the ideas and issues shaping our sector.

AND THAT’S WHERE YOU COME IN...

Big things are already growing behind the scenes. New works. New voices. New collaborations.

Every show we bring to the stage takes time, care and support. It starts with an idea, but it takes a village to make it real. Right now, we’re deep in development on the next wave of bold new projects. We’ve made exciting connections overseas, met incredible people, and we’re cooking up big new things for 2026 and beyond.
