The KXT VAULT is the bAKEHOUSE support centre for arts and community. With a focus on artists support, the development of new work, and community engagement it’s the beating heart of our home on Broadway.
In 2026 we expand the opportunities on offer, and introduce UNDERGROUND, a season of work in the KXT Vault, a home for low-tech, low-cost, high-risk work, surprise small seasons for intimate audiences
If you're familiar with our program of work in alternative spaces in KX Hotel - Visiting Hours; Fringe Benefits, Popup ComeOut, Popupstairs all played out on other levels of the hotel - then you'll recognise the opportunity: a season of work in the KXT program, supported by KXT personnel, offering profile for your work and presenting a low-cost opportunity for young companies, new work, and non-traditional seasons.
Work that took its first steps in the KXT Popupstairs program includes UBU by Tooth & Sinew, that went onto sold out season on the KXT stage the following year; Not Today an award-winning touring cabaret by Ally Morgan, Doing Amy Sole’s first directing role, and Rime of the Ancient Mariner, one of the earliest works from the Little Eggs collective who went on to develop and stage the award-winning Symphonie Fantastique at KXT in the Cross.
Importantly, this is a program that will allow the KXT team to meet and work with new artists, and to become familiar with their work.
