Short+Sweet is a global festival brand, presenting highly successful Theatre, Dance, Cabaret, and Song Festivals around the world.
We provide audiences with exciting and contemporary works that challenge and entertain.
Short+Sweet’s mission is to build theatre-going audiences around the world.
Beginning as a small festival of 10 minute plays in Sydney, Australia, we have grown into a global organisation.
Short+Sweet has made a huge impact on the Australian theatre scene through developing new, original work with emerging artists and providing a platform for established artists to showcase their talents.
Our vision is simple – a more creative world 10 minutes at a time!
Short+Sweet has three aims to:
DEVELOP the artistry and craft of acting, directing, writing, dancing, choreography, singing and many other forms of theatre-making.
We create a fun and professional workplace with high levels of administrative and technical support. Our artists learn from each other, and from experienced theatre professionals.
We facilitate a supportive environment for theatre practitioners to network and to find support for their future.
SHOWCASE ten-minute performances. To create a platform for artists' telling stories.
We provide the space for theatre practitioners to showcase their performance skills to new audiences and industry professionals. Our artists have a safe place to tell stories in their chosen field.
CREATE EXCELLENCE. To stimulate and entertain audiences with 10 minute works
We believe short form theatre can move audiences as effectively as long form. All Short+Sweet seasons consist of high-quality 10 minute pieces. We achieve this through a vigorous, merit-based process, employing an open call for material, auditions, and artist interviews.
