So glad you found us.
We are a small group of independent artists who provide rehearsal space and support to Ballarat performing artists including writers, performers, directors and creators.
We exist to foster and celebrate new performance work for Ballarat audiences.
The Rat Lab
About Us
We are a not-for-profit incorporated association based out of The Rat Lab space at the Arts Incubator on Camp St. We offer cheap and open access to rehearsal space for performing artists and the community. We focus on nurturing artists who tell stories by and about Ballarat, and who speak to the contemporary human experience.
What Our Artists Are Saying
“The space is flexible and affordable. The team are supportive, dedicated and experienced -- I should know, one of them is me.”
— Dr Rob, The Ballarat Company
“Thank God for The Rat Lab!”
— Maryanne Sam, whilst leaping to her feet at the end of her showing of AUNT in The Rat Lab
