WHAT WE DO

MUSE Festival is an open-invitation festival that welcomes VCA and MCM students to take over the Performing Arts Building. It is an open invitation for any and all kinds of performance, that celebrates our dierse range of student artists, providing them with an opportunity to crack open the possibilities of this learning space, and to create and share what truly resonates.

What does "open-invitation" mean? It means that we don't put limits on the involved artists; it means that we don't require complete works with all the bells and whistles. Open Invitation is our way of inviting students to take risks and present whatever they so desire - from installations to fully realised performances.
