New Beginnings is a bold creative development program by blue joy theatre co., spotlighting emerging voices and fresh ideas at FRINGE WORLD 2026. With a focus on collaboration between BIPOC and non-BIPOC artists, the program dismantles barriers that often limit access to creative opportunities. Through mentorship, workshops, and residencies, artists experiment across performance mediums, refining their practice and pushing the boundaries of storytelling. Work-in-progress showings invite audiences into the heart of the process, offering an exclusive first look at daring new theatre and performances in development. New Beginnings is more than a showcase - it’s a movement to nurture cultural exchange, champion inclusion, and celebrate the voices shaping the future of contemporary performance.
