Mama Cutsworth Academy for Underrepresented Genders in DJing-6:30 pm (intermediate course)

$95.00
In 2012, Winnipeg’s Mama Cutsworth founded her DJ Academy for All Women and Non-Binary Folks, a welcoming space that taught students the skills and confidence it takes to become a professional DJ. Since then, the DJ Academy has seen over 120 students graduate, with many alumni going on to contribute to Canada’s DJ and music scene in meaningful ways. The DJ Academy was on hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but since then, the Manitoba Conservatory of Music & Arts has partnered with Mama Cutsworth to bring her DJ Academy back! In this intermediate class, we invite graduates of the beginner program or those with some experience to explore their skills in further depth to prepare them to work independently in the industry.
This hands-on program is intended for adults whose genders are under-represented in the DJ world, be it cis or trans women, 2-Spirit or non-binary folks, and so on. The course welcomes anyone who self-identifies as part of this wide spectrum of gender expression.
