Small Stage Sessions is Bond Street Event Centre’s new Open Mic Night for musicians, poets and short film-makers.
This event offers up-and-coming performers the opportunity to test their skills on a receptive crowd of like-minded creatives.
The next Small Stage Sessions will be held at 7pm tonight.
Prospective performers are being encouraged to arrive early to secure a spot in the schedule.
Organisers will place a blackboard at the front of the stage, where they will allocate performers a set time on a first-in-first-on basis.
In order to offer each performer adequate stage time, the format for musical acts will be solos, duos or trios only performing 15-minute sets.
The Centre will be providing PA equipment and a sound technician. Drum kits are not permitted.
Film-makers who would like to showcase their creations will be given a 10-minute screening, and are asked to bring a copy of their film to the venue by 6.20pm on the night.
Poets will also be given a 10-minute set to perform their written works.
Those with an interest in local musicians, poets and filmmakers are being urged to attend and be part of the encouraging and supportive audience.
Note this particular event is for ages 16 and over. Minors must be accompanied by a guardian.
The bar will be open and a light supper will be provided. Entry is $10 at the door and goes towards the continued running of these events.
Bond Street Event Centre describes itself as “a social enterprise with a mission to contribute to the development of a fair, creative, just, informed, rational and enlightened community.”
