The Bespoke program offers a group of emerging / mid-career music, sound and performance artists the opportunity to develop skills for ongoing self-sustaining artistic inquiry. This long-term engagement with Speak Percussion will be in two stages. The first half includes workshops in arts business, organisation and artistic development. In the second half, some participants will work towards realising their own project, with support from Speak’s administrative and artistic team in securing opportunities for their work.

This opportunity is for you if you are:

Self-motivated and open to collaboration: Responsible for determining your goals, and have an interest in working collaboratively with others.

A practicing musician: Are interested in creating your own work, have experience in a contemporary / creative music practise.

Importantly, you don’t need to be a percussionist or have a traditional music education to apply. This program is open to artists from diverse cultural and training backgrounds. For more information, email speak@speakpercussion to speak with one of our team.

Closing date: 16/12/2022
