Artist Development Opportunities
SPARK and State Cultivate
State Theatre Company South Australia takes pride in not only creating excellent, innovative, provocative and entertaining large-scale theatre works, but in supporting the development of a number of creative programs and professional pathways for local and national theatre artists.

SPARK is a space for fearless, unfiltered, electric theatre. We’re searching for theatre-makers: playwrights, devisors, directors, and performers who refuse to play it safe.
If your work lives on the edges, thrives in the unexpected, and demands to be seen, felt, and heard, we want you.
From 2026-2028, State Theatre Company South Australia will support six new independent works – two per year – presented at the Adelaide College of the Arts.

Our dream is to become Australia’s pre-eminent storyteller. We want to create new Australian stories that open the heart and fire the imagination of people all over the country (and, perhaps, the world).
We’re passionate about supporting the very best in new Australian playwriting and currently have a number of writers under commission: Samuel Adamson, Van Badham, Elena Carapetis, Anna Goldsworthy, Verity Laughton, Meow Meow, Emily Steel, Alexis West and Richard Wise. If you would like to support our efforts in the creation of new work, please see our State Donate page.
