FAN CAMP Vol. 10 RAINBOW
FAN CAMP Vol. 10 RAINBOW
Fan Camp Rainbow is an immersive five-day collaborative songwriting camp at Big Fan, curated by LADYHAWKE. Created to better support and nurture the talents of rainbow, takatāpui and MVPFAFF+ music people in Tāmaki Makaurau and Te Tai Tokerau, the programme brings together nine artists, songwriters and producers for a week of collaboration, experimentation, and creative connection in a supportive environment, free from commercial expectations or obligations.
Participants will spend five full days writing and recording at Big Fan, collaborating with different people each day to create five unique songwriting sessions across the week. The programme is designed to inspire creativity, strengthen community connections, encourage future collaborations, and produce demo-quality songs that participants can continue to develop beyond the camp.
Recognising the importance of supporting rainbow music communities beyond Tāmaki Makaurau, one place is reserved for a participant from Te Tai Tokerau (Northland), with travel and accommodation provided. To ensure cost and studio access are not barriers to continuing the creative process, each artist will also receive a dedicated post-camp studio day with a producer to further develop one of the songs created during the week.
Fan Camp Vol.10 Rainbow provides each successful applicant with:
- The opportunity to write songs in collaboration with other selected artists, songwriters and producers at Big Fan for five days.
- Lunch and beverages each day
- Access to the BIG FAN Alumni Network, receiving further opportunities and discounts
- Travel and accommodation for one person residing in Te Tai Tokerau (Northland)
- 1x day in studio post camp with producer
