Seymour Centre
Overview
Seymour Centre is the University of Sydney’s multi-venue performing arts centre. Our work champions new voices, questions the status quo and inspires wide-ranging audiences through the creative expression of big ideas.
To achieve this, we commission, produce and present major performances within our annual curated Seymour Season, with a focus on showcasing leading Australian independent theatre companies.
We drive youth engagement in the arts through our comprehensive Arts Education Program for primary and secondary schools.
We enliven the artistic life of our city through presenting partnerships with major cultural events such as Sydney Festival, Sydney Writers’ Festival and Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras.
And we foster the next generation of artists and audiences through emerging artist initiatives and student performances.
