IME Open Mic: Children’s Day Special

Bring your inner child along for free musical expression

Every year, the 14th of November becomes a day to celebrate the joys, dreams and hopes of childhood in India. While the work to establish the rights of children continues in various ways across the nation and the world, at IME, we want to celebrate this day with music. So come share a song, story or memory from your own childhood, or something you share with the kids in your families and classrooms or your own twist on Haanikarak Bapu or Ane Bantondu Ane, let’s make November’s Open Mic a time to let our inner child shine!

Every month, IME invites participants of all age groups with a desire to perform on an open stage. Whether it is to share original music, hone performance skills, or simply overcome stage fright in a supportive and creative environment. Poetry, singing, instruments are all welcome at the IME Open Mic!

For participants with specific sensory needs please do share details for accommodation in the registration form.

20 slots for performance are available and each artist will be given 6 mins on stage. Depending on how the evening goes, there will also be a few on-spot registration slots available. And don’t worry about performance jitters, there is a tonne of community support to buoy you along. You can also come along to support friends or just enjoy an evening of talent, endeavor and the creative spirit!
