Mama Cutsworth Academy for Underrepresented Genders in DJing, Intermediate-Thursdays, 8 pm

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 Academy has seen over 120 students graduate, with many alumni going on to contribute to Canada’s DJ and music scene in meaningful ways. Like many programs, the DJ Academy was on hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Now, the Manitoba Conservatory of Music & Arts has partnered with Mama Cutsworth to bring her DJ Academy back. Students who have taken the beginner class will continue to add to their skill set with scratching, beat matching songs, stage presence, the history of DJing, and more in this intermediate class. No equipment is required, just a passion for music!

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.
