The IHOS Laboratory is also dedicated to providing a platform for young and emerging composers, directors and designers to see their works fully produced. At the end of 2007 the IHOS Laboratory had premiered 26 new Australian music theatre works since its foundation and provided opportunities for over 134 young performers. Students from the Laboratory have gone on to study at the Tasmanian and Sydney Conservatoria of Music, NIDA and the VCA.
