For the first time at ANU, we’re running a Queer* beginners DJ workshop. The workshop will be at ANU Union bar. 

This workshop is friendly to beginners. You don’t need any previous music or equipment knowledge to participate, just a love for sweet tunes and drowning out homophobia.

The workshop will kick off in with some Canberra-based DJ friends sharing the basics of DJing: what the buttons do, how to mix tracks together, how to beat-match and so on. Following that, you’ll get a chance to practice what you’ve just learnt in a friendly environment with the support of the DJs.

The workshop will finish with a panel discussion on topics like organising your music, getting started with your first gigs, fair pay and engaging with the music landscape.

Food and snackies will be provided! When you’re registering, you can indicate any dietary requirements you have.

This workshop includes a series of follow up practice sessions at ANU Union Bar, Woroni Radio and other exciting venues. Although they aren’t compulsory, you’ll get the most out of this workshop if you’re able to commit to at least one hour of these sessions. Sign-up for them will open during the workshop.

This is an autonomous event, open to any student who identifies as a person of colour. Borrowing from the ANUSA Ethnocultural department, we define ‘person of Colour’ as students who self-identify as being from a minority racial or ethnic origin, with a common experience of facing systemic racism. This definition includes, but it is not strictly limited to: mixed-race or bi-racial people, people who are white-passing (i.e. are perceived to be white due to skin colour and other identifying features), and are Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander.

Dietary requirements can be made known during registration. The event takes place at the ANU Union bar in the ANU Union building, which is accessible by wheelchair. Chairs can be provided during the event. Accessible parking spaces are near toad hall.
