Inkubator Series

RCAT is pleased to announce the launch of its 2025-26 Inkubator Series! 

Our community is full of incredible, diverse, and uniquely talented Artists at all stages of their careers. This program is for Artists in search of a platform for a project in development — something not quite ready for the Main Stage, but ready for exploration on its feet or around a table. Something ready for sneak-peek public showcasing and peer feedback.  

This year, as part of our Season programming, 5 Artists will be selected to develop their proposed project with an exploratory workshop day in our Cox & Palmer Second Space, followed by an evening presentation. (Please note that this presentation is not required to be a performance of the project in full; Artists may choose to focus on physical exploration of a single scene or key elements of the larger piece.) 

Interdisciplinary works are strongly encouraged. Scripts, stand-up sets, dance pieces…we want to know what you have up your sleeve! 

Selected participants will receive a $1000 fee towards the day’s workshop/presentation costs, which may include hiring artists, paying for design materials, etc. Inkubator Series participants will receive access to the Cox & Palmer Second Space for the day, including technical, administrative, and marketing support as needed. As Artists on our 2025-26 Season roster, they will also receive complimentary tickets for all RCAT productions in our 2025-26 Season.   

Eligibility requirements: 

* Do you self-identify as an Artist?  

* Do you have a creative project up your sleeve in its early stages of development?  

If you answered yes to both of the above questions, good! You’re eligible! (If you aren’t sure how to answer those questions and would like to know more, please email Meghan at animateur@rcatheatre.ca.) 

Resource Centre for the Arts is committed to gender equity and inclusion and encourages submissions from BIPOC communities, deaf artists, disability-identified artists, as well as those who identify with the 2SLGTBQIA+ community.
