Live performance – theatre, circus, contemporary dance, classical ballet, concerts, opera, musicals and comedy - creates a rich and vibrant cultural life for all Australians.

Involvement in the performing arts, on or off the stage, inspires creativity and fosters excellence. It cultivates our future leaders.

AMPAG is the umbrella group for Australia's 28 major performing arts companies who inspire millions in schools and theatres across the country and the world.

We work to ensure that the brilliance of these companies is adequately supported by the government and accessible to all Australians. Find out more on this site, and Play Your Part in the Arts by registering with the We All Play A Part campaign to celebrate Australian creativity.
