WHAT IS CREATIVE BOOTCAMP?
Topology’s flagship Creative Bootcamps are multi-day workshops for creatives to hone their skills, create something new and work alongside experienced musicians and artists.
The Logan Creative Bootcamp is all about creative and cultural exploration across different artistic disciplines.
Your professional tutors will provide guidance around playing and composing music, exploring rhythm, creating electronic beats, recording vocals and choreographing dance.
Learn from lighting & AV technician Dan Endicott, and sound & audio engineer, Brett Cheney in a backstage masterclass. Then put it all together in a showcase you help co-create and then perform.
Discover new skills, deepen those you have, plus develop your creative confidence. Best of all, no prior experience is necessary!
Over 4 days, you’ll form new friendships and learn from some of the best musicians, mentors and choreographers in the industry. We can’t wait to see what you create!
