About 2x4 BASH 

Bash (Verb)

1  : A festival, or social gathering

2  : To try or attempt something

In today’s theatrical landscape you need to be a hyphenate artist. Meaning, you need to know how to generate your own material, produce and market your own work and collaboratively work with others. With 2x4, you'll deepen your craft and learn how to sell it. 

 

2x4BASH is a rigorous training experience aimed to nurture the next generation of artists, aged 18-25, with the professional skills needed for a career in theatre and film; skills that can also be transferrable to a myriad of other disciplines.

​

2x4 Bash is a program of The Western Stage.
