Creative Voice

A six-week multidisciplinary taster across writing, music, visual arts, and DJing. For young people figuring out what fits.

What it is

A lot of young people know they want to make something. They just don't know what yet.

Creative Voice is for those students. Six weeks, weekly two-hour sessions, two facilitators in the room. A guided taster across four artforms — designed to expose, not specialise.

Best for younger year levels (12–16), or older students new to creative practice. Often used as an entry point before the deeper eight-week programs.

How it runs

  • Week 1 · Writing

    Words, lyrics, poems, journal prompts.

  • Week 2 · Music

    Songwriting basics, beats, recording a voice memo.

  • Week 3 · Visual

    Drawing, collage, photography, making a zine page.

  • Week 4 · DJing & Sound

    Mixing 101, sampling a track, building a 5-minute mix.

  • Week 5 · Bring it together

    Pick one direction. Develop one piece with mentor support.

  • Week 6 · Sharing

    An informal sharing event — friends and family welcome. Low pressure. Or keep it internal if that fits better.

Who delivers it.

What participants leave with.
