about freshly squeezed...

freshly squeezed is a playground for collaboration, crossing art forms and creative dialogue with peer artists.

More than twenty of Sydney's most exciting emerging artists from a variety of disciplines including theatre, dance, sound art, music, visual arts, media, film and installation come together at workshops to jam, experiment, cross-fertilise and form new collaborations. Working with a common theme, the artists develop new works, conduct showings, offer each other feedback as well as take advantage of the mentoring of experienced practitioners. This culminates in an evening of short experimental works, a presentation of raw and promising ideas and never seen before collaborations.

The success of the launch in 2010 prompted stagejuice to continue freshly squeezed as an annual event. freshly squeezed was founded out of a need within Sydney's arts industry for more opportunities for young or emerging artists across all mediums to meet and collaborate. stagejuice wanted to make a short works night with an emphasis on development and ensemble. We provide the space and facilities, coordinate the group workshops, employ the artist mentors and produce and publicise the event over a short season. freshly squeezed is an initiative run by artists, for artists.

freshly squeezed is an important breeding ground for interdisciplinary and experimental performance. It is a place to invigorate all forms. It aims to be a stepping-stone for further development of the works and collaborations it inspires, and to provide an opportunity for new performance makers to engage and stimulate audiences and the community.
