For 9 years now, IESA arts&culture has partnered with the Play it Indie music showcase.
1st-year Master in Performing Arts Production students are in charge of the entire production of the event.
A look back at this wonderful experience lived by the students!
Play It Indie is a music launchpad designed to showcase and support emerging contemporary music artists. During this event, the artists perform in front of a jury of professionals. The launchpad focuses above all on the needs of an emerging artist that can advance their career and offers them numerous support prizes.
For more than 9 years, its entire organization has been entrusted to the first-year class of the Master’s in Performing Arts Production at IESA arts&culture.
Play it Indie is a launchpad that aims to promote the independent art scene and, for the past two years, to offer cross-disciplinary content such as debates and screenings that examine artistic expression in greater depth.
Florent Bony and Élodie Mermoz are the coordinators of this project. They support the students in carrying out this event, which is theirs, guiding them through a theoretical part and then through the development, artistic direction, production, coordination, funding, partnerships, and communication of the launchpad, which each year addresses a theme that they have chosen and want to champion. It is an opportunity for our students to discover the various professions in performing arts production:
Play It Indie will celebrate its 9th year in 2021.
Play it Indie is a springboard that celebrates culture and diversity and propels new talents. This new edition, titled Music & Co, will this time highlight multidisciplinarity.
In duos or trios, artists will have to combine music (singing or an instrument) with one or more other artistic disciplines such as visual arts, dance, circus arts, graffiti, theater, painting…
This event is organized by Master 1 Cultural Production students of the school IESA Art et Culture and under the supervision of instructors Élodie MERMOZ (Labo Culture) and Florent BONY (Kalima Production).
