Description

Stride is an ambitious new professional development program to initiate and foster long-term careers for Tasmanians in the performing arts.

Over three years Terrapin will provide employment and upskilling for up to 120 early and mid-career creative professionals, building capacity for individuals, organisations and the sector overall. We’re providing long-term support for participants, connecting them to paid opportunities with Terrapin and other performing arts organisations.
