A free story-led festival and open mic event is coming to Brimbank on April 12 at the Bowery Theatre.
A collaborative showcase of young artistic talent, Cinespace and South by South East Asian (SXSEA), alongside Brimbank Youth Arts are presenting a night of film, live performance and free food.
Across a series of workshops, young participants of Cinespace and SXSEA’s ‘About Us, For You: A Festival of Stories’ program, have honed their skills in storytelling to create music, film, and theatre works, and these will now be showcased at the event.
Brimbank’s FReeZA will be presenting their bi-annual Half-Baked Open Mic for young people as well to practise their performances in front of a crowd, whether it’s a dance, spoken word, song, diary entry, or instrumental.
The collaborative event is set to captivate audiences according to SXSEA founder Pranati Narayan Visweswaran.
Ms Visweswaran said the program was also a great opportunity for the young performers — some of whom may be doing it for the first time.
“It is incredibly important for us to support young people in their journeys with the creative arts,” she said.
“It can be such a transformative and rewarding experience to see what you have created come to life, and feel supported by those around you.”
The performances will kick-off at 3pm.
