La Mama Connect 2025
La Mama Connect offers space for artists to learn, network and grow community.
La Mama Connect aims to build a strong and supportive network within their creative community and foster a nurturing environment for collaboration and growth.
La Mama Connect is going Mobile in 2025.
Do you live and create in regional Victoria? Then we want to hear from you.
During our year of review we’re taking some time to visit some of our regional communities to hear your thoughts about how we can work best with you – artists and audiences.
La Mama Connect Mobile will be visiting the North, North West, South West (Warrnambool), G21 (Geelong) and Gippsland to meet and consult with theatre makers and creatives to discuss Pathways, Networking, Community Building and Professional Development, as well as scoping opportunities for regional and metro exchange.
This will help inform our regional outreach strategy, so that we can align support and resources to meet the needs and aspirations of various communities in our state.
We invite you to attend to share your needs, hopes, and aspirations for the future.
