This December a cohort of approximately 35 Australian students and teachers will join forces with Bentley Music Academy and the wider music community in one of musical theatre’s most famous works, EVITA, written by the duo Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice.

Meeting for the first time on the 4^th December, approximately 90 instrumentalists, dancers, and singers have just 12 days to put together four semi-staged concert performances at KL Performing Arts Centre.

The original idea comes from Kevin Field, BMA’s Director of Academic and Artistic Development who invited Central Queensland Conservatorium of Music (CQCM) back in 2018 for a collaborative performance of The Mikado, followed by another combined event in 2020 of CHESS – the musical, just before the pandemic hit.

 

PORTRAITS IN ABSENTIA – OPEN CALL

Ahead of TCX’s upcoming festival, PORTRAITS OF HOPE, we are inviting video artists to submit their portfolio in the application of a reimagining of Jocelyn Pook’s work, ‘Portraits in Absentia.’

The works will form the heart of the festival which itself will offer a platform for new performers to meet with new opportunities under the mentorship of established performance artists, who themselves combine a national perspective with international pedigree.

Five new video artists will be selected to each create one of the film’s movements that together will form Pook’s emotive and thought provoking sound world.

Email info@theculture.exchange to submit your details by Friday 29th December 2023.

Terms available on request.
