What's the BCI?

 The BeXD Creative Incubator is a development program for four new Australian family musicals. Working alongside professional creatives, selected participants will explore new songs, scripts, scenes and characters, try different roles, share feedback and ideas, contribute to demo recordings, and take part in a free workshop/open day and public showcase. The process will be youth-led, with participants’ responses and creative thinking helping shape the work. 

Who is Eligible?

Applicants must:

• be aged 10–15
• be under 16 on 1 May 2027
• live at a residential address within the Ipswich City Council Local Government Area
• be confident singers - you must be able to sing solo, in tune, and in time.
• be willing to contribute ideas and work collaboratively
• be available for the audition, development sessions and public events
• be ready to approach the project professionally and give it their all.

What are we looking for?

BeXD is looking for five talented and curious Ipswich-based performers. Participants will be selected based on:

• performance ability - we want to see you tell a story, not just sing the notes
• vocal confidence and musical versatility - we want to see you use different colours with your voice and navigate your chosen songs with confidence
• creative thinking and collaboration - we’re looking for performers who can contribute ideas, work as a team and help us shape these new works.
• ability to take direction and respond in the room
• commitment to the full project

You do not need to have performed professionally before. We are interested in talented young performers who are curious, prepared to work hard and keen to be part of a creative team.

I'm ineligible for this project, but I'm super keen.

Are you aged over 16 as of the 1st of May? Or live outside the Ipswich City Council limits? But you're super keen?

Still submit an audition. 

You will be ineligible for this project - even if you're AMAZING - but we will be doing future projects like cast recordings and future development workshops that may have different criteria. When you submit your audition tick "This is a general audition" in your form.

We will give you feedback on your audition and keep you in mind (and your details on file) for future opportunties.
