The Tasmanian Live Performance Exchange (The Exchange) is a new not-for-profit organisation that has received funding from Arts Tasmania for the development and delivery of a bold 10-year plan for Tasmania’s professional theatre and live performance sector.

The Exchange has engaged expert consultants Jade Lillie and Lee Casey to develop the plan with us and they are beginning the process with an industry wide consultation.

We are looking for input from both organisations and individuals involved in the theatre and live performance sector

Your insights will help shape a roadmap that responds to the state’s unique strengths, challenges and opportunities, and supports a sustainable, connected and future-ready sector.

The Exchange is steered through the collaboration of Mudlark, Performing Lines TAS, ROOKE, Terrapin, Tasdance/Assembly 197, Theatre Royal, Theatre North and the University of Tasmania.

We welcome everyone from the sector to contribute to this important initiative for the sector.  We would love you to both
