Our Story:
Dance music is a cultural movement, it brings people all ages together from different backgrounds, they’re tolerant and respectful to each other on the dance floor, and they take that energy home. That is itself a political statement.
Music is the most effective way to blur perceived boundaries and borders. It has the power to bring people together as one human race. Now more than ever this is an important message for Sydney and the World to present to the current and next generation of youth. We need less fear, MORE LOVE.
Not everyone is given the same start in life we want to give the I-Manifest students who come from marginalized under-privileged backgrounds a chance to open their eyes to possibility and opportunity. This workshop will give them industry skills, open their eyes to the many choices there are within creative industries and music and give them time with key industry mentors and access to the I-Manifest program.
Creativity has the power to drive culture and create change. Creative thinking is what separates us from machines. This is where all the jobs will be in future for our next generation. The creative community holds the power to shift perception and create widespread change.
By supporting this project and helping us continue to hold this workshop with I-Manifest and Electronic Music Conference you are showing YOU are the change-makers of today and helping create the change-makers of tomorrow. We need your help to make this happen. Join us in starting some good.
