FReeZA - Mic Up Productions

MIC UP PRODUCTIONS(FReeZA)

WHO ARE WE?

MIC UP PRODUCTIONS (Bendigo FReeZA) is a group of young people creating events for other young people in Bendigo – We want youth events to take place “For young people, by young people.”

In 2011 we want to expand our Committee numbers and to build on the events we successfully put together in 2010.

We are always looking to add new members to our Crew, to help develop and produce bigger and better events.

Young people interested in becoming involved as committee members can do so in Production, Promotion, Concept Development, Artwork/Design and Programming.

Our aim is to run more events more often for young people in the City of Greater Bendigo, and to have a committee that creates awesome events which reflect what the young people of Bendigo want in the way of entertainment.

If you are interested in getting involved hit us up with a msg on facebook (Yo Bendigo) or flick an email through to youth@bendigo.com.au. if phones are your thing call or text Rory on 0439 559 175

It s aperfect opportunity for Bands and DJ's to play more gigs, so get involved.

People who are already involved have interests and skills in design, playing gigs or DJ’ing events. Others are attracted by the opportunity to work with sound recording and lighting, dance, or are they are just keen to learn how to run events.

Not only do the MIC UP (FReeZA) Crew get to attend many events free of charge, in return for some basic volunteering, but they also learn valuable skills in event organisation as well as meeting different young people who have similar interests.

FReeZA means.....
Activities for young people under 18 to attend that are safe and are as much fun as adult events. Young people can develop skills and abilities that they car take back to other organisations they are involved and run more events for other young people in the region.

FReeZA is a state government initiative and they provide the funds for the MIC UP program.
