THE CREW Music

CREW MUSIC - TAKING PART

For over 15 years THE CREW has provided a musical and performance showcase for hundred of young people : dancers, musicians and performers in a wide variety of genre and styles.

Many people are born with talent but not so many are willing to put the hard yards in to develop their skills to a stage that they can use them to perform and communicate to other people. On 'THE CREW' we are looking for just that sort of person.

Currently we have over 70 musicians and performers associated with the show taking part in a range of ways including:

SOLO PERFORMERS: Performing to backing tracks or self supported performances

BAND PERFORMANCES: For bands that have done the hard yards and are ready to record and perform for television.

PERFORMANCE ENSEMBLES: Specially formed groups for the purpose of supporting and artist who may not have access to a band.

WRITERS and ARRANGERS: working with the solo artists, bands and ensembles to develop musical structure

We have a collaborative, creative melting pot approach to our production. The environment is a great place to experiment with ideas and approaches to performance.

CREW AGENCY

Launching in 2011!!

'CREW AGENCY' is just around the corner!!!.

As a natural follow on from our involvement in the performing arts, in 2011 we will launch a talent development and promotion agency. It will be one of the best thing that has happened for the performing arts in a long time.

We currently have in excess of 70 gifted artists associated with the show. The agency will formalize links with these artists, providing access to recording, concert promotions, television appearances as well as talent development and enrichment.

The agency will better equip us to support the development of performers across the performing arts as we seek out wider opportunities for exposure as well as providing the avenue of our own program 'THE CREW' on SBS Television

The agency will deal with both performance and production talent offering young people the opportunity to become part of a growing media production and performance network.
