ABOUT THE SUITCASE PROJECT
Melissa Main (AKA The Musician’s Accomplice) is seeking expressions of interest from Participants, Collaborators and Patrons ANYWHERE IN AUSTRALIA for an extensive, multi-modal project entitled “SUITCASE”…People of ALL experience levels are welcome!
VISION: Melissa will work with individuals and groups to plan, organise, create, rehearse and perform and/or record original pieces of musical work. The resulting works will be challenging, beautiful, poignant, fun and funny. Each participant will work with Melissa and others to further their skills in music creation, making and/or performing.
The resourcing, timing, logistical and funding details will be decided with participants. See progress in the Suitcase Diaries.
