If you are young and local, then you have the opportunity to co-curate a 100 per cent youth led high calibre event.<\/p>\n
If you are aged 16-25, you\u2019re invited to plan and perform at an all-ages music event.<\/p>\n
To be held at the Ballan Mechanics Institute, the program will consist of practical elements along with short presentations, guest speakers and mentors. Workshops will focus on a variety of topics including, Stagecraft, collaboration for performers and production skills and, How to run an Event.<\/p>\n
For musicians, to be part of the program you’ll be able to play your instrument at a level where you can follow simple standard chords to a song all the way through with other musicians with minimal preparation. For singers, you’ll be comfortable singing a song without the recording, for example with an instrument or a karaoke track. <\/p>\n
If you\u2019re not sure where your skill level is at, please contact Jen via email \u2013 arts@moorabool.vic.gov.au <\/p>\n
