HATCHED 2026 banner

Hatched 2026 is a celebration of young people finding their voices and sharing the stories that matter to them. 

27 – 28 June
Irene Mitchell Studio,
44 St Martins Lane, South Yarra

For the first time, Hatched comes to you in the heart of winter, and we can think of no better reason to step in from the cold. Across four original devised works, performers from Teens, Cross Age Studio, and Congress groups come together to explore a theme that St Martins has been investigating this semester: coexistence.  

What does it mean to live alongside one another? How do we navigate difference, make space for others, and find common ground in a world that can feel increasingly divided? Is there a way to master the art of being together without losing yourself, of listening as much as speaking, and of discovering that our differences can be a source of wonder rather than division? 

These shows don’t offer easy answers — they ask bold questions with creativity, courage, and heart.
