In September, Bec Massey pitched in BrisbaneI for creative development money for IT’S A SECRET! at the Major Festivals Initiative (MFI) Commissioning site.

 

The MFI Commissioning Site (C-Site) is an annual conference of CAIAF member festivals, that brings together festival curators, artists, their producing companies and other commissioners of work. They meet together in a single space across two and a bit days to observe, listen and learn about the ideas, concepts and visions of Australian artists, collectives and companies.

The festivals mingle, with each other and with the artists they advocate for, to invest funds in news works. It was an extraordinary 2 days among incredible artists cooking up some breathtaking works.

 

IT'S A SECRET! received MFI seed funding from Perth Festival and is being supported by Rising Festival and Adelaide Festival, who hope to premiere the work in 2024. Fingers crossed we get the money.
