Real work.
Real reach.
Inclusive Performance Academy builds a pathway from creative classes to completed public work. Performers are writers, collaborators, actors, singers and filmmakers — on their own terms.
The results are already visible: original live productions at The Piano, a comedy pilot released online, and three consecutive Christchurch 48Hours regional finalist films. In 2026, Hacked Off reached the national final and won Best Use of Genre in Christchurch.
Support can help sustain accessible creative opportunities and give future productions the crew, gear, rehearsal time and presentation they deserve. Let’s talk about a partnership that fits the work.
