We’re two years old!
Slanted Theatre is a 2-and-a-bit-year-old theatre collective founded by Tiffany Wong. We were also named a ‘Champion’ of the AA22 (Asian Australian) List of 2022 compiled by Erin Wen Ai Chew.
We have presented four full-scale productions, including Ching Chong Chinaman by Lauren Yee at Chippen Street Theatre,

Why You’ll Love Us
We’re all about building a community of Asian theatre-makers and audiences. Whether we stage a new work, or a classic, we’ll have a production for you. Our main mission is to give Asian Australian theatre-makers the confidence to continue their craft as they begin to work in the independent sector.
Our aims:
- Work with Asian casts and crews
- Support emerging artists of all ages
- Present relevant & interesting work
- Eliminate tokenism
- Improve representation
- Create conversations
- Explore diversity within the ‘Asian’ community
We’re investigating what it means to be ‘Asian’ working with theatre-makers of various heritages and experience, including but not limited to South Asian, East Asian, Middle Eastern (sometimes referred to as West Asia), South East Asian, and including bi- and multi-racial artists.
