Discover talent from across Film & TV, Dance, Theatre, Music Theatre, Opera, Interactive Composition and the Wilin Centre for Indigenous Arts and Cultural Development.

These are among the most inventive, courageous and deeply skilled emerging artists of their generation, nurtured within the University of Melbourne’s Victorian College of the Arts and Melbourne Conservatorium of Music.
