Thanks for visiting our Buy Me A Coffee page!
We just celebrated our 2nd anniversary, but we have already worked with over 90 Asian theatre-makers, including various directors, designers, actors, and more. Our aims are to work with Asian casts and crew, create relevant and interesting work, eliminate tokenistic casting, improve representation, to create conversation, and explore diversity within the 'Asian' community.
Creating indie theatre in Sydney is no easy task. We're super grateful to venues such as KXT bAKEHOUSE and Short + Sweet and Flight Path Theatre who have provided a helping hand in the past, but now that our community is growing, we foresee many productions which means an increase in costs.
Here are just some of the typical costs from an indie single production:
$3000 Venue Hire
$2000 Set
$1000 Costume
$500 Props
$300 Lighting/Sound
Then add on Insurance, Marketing, Licenses, Rehearsal Hire ($25/hour)
Our coming productions will have similar costs...
And that's not even including artist fees! All the artists, designers, and creators involved in Slanted Theatre are part of a profit share agreement which means we split the profit between ourselves post-show. This is the typical way to produce theatre in Sydney.
What will your donations cover?
Your donations will help make possible ...
- theatre that celebrates diversity within the Asian community
- video content: trailers, interviews, Q&As
- archival footage to pitch in the future or apply for grants
- day-to-day costs like our website, insurance so that we can focus on generating profits for...cast and crew profit share!
And all it takes is a monthly subscription for as little as $2/month!
Thank you so much for your consideration, and we hope to see you in the foyer soon!
