ABOUT JOPUKA
Jopuka Productions is an independent youth-arts company based on the Central Coast of New South Wales.
Jopuka Productions is a youth-arts charity based on Darkinjung Country on the Central Coast of New South Wales. It was established specifically to provide performing arts training and development to a wide array of emerging artists, aged 13-30. Jopuka provides a safe and peer-driven space for emerging artists to hone their craft and forge their own pathways into the arts industry. We present unique and innovative seasons, filled to the brim with new works, Australian classics, and Fringe favourites.
Jopuka has staged over 30 acclaimed productions, including a range of new and established works. We’ve commissioned eleven new Australian works from emerging writers and theatre-makers across Australia, and even won a couple of awards in the process. Since launching we’ve provided arts opportunities for over 1200 young people across many areas of performance production.
Now neatly tucked away in our own venue, The Launch Pad, Jopuka is committed to creating innovative, inclusive, and exceptional work with our community of emerging artists.
