About
Little Operations is a creative development opportunity supporting independent artists and groups working in cross-artform practice to explore new ideas and approaches. This artform development hothouse provides producing support, mentorship, dedicated space, and a stipend to nurture experimental work at any stage of development.
Each Little Operations culminates in a public showing that introduces Chamber Made audiences to artists, innovative ideas, and works in development, creating vital connections between artists and community.
About the Artist/s
Our 2025 Little Operations artist, Rae Howell, presents her work in development The Piano: Hook, Line and Tinker.
The Piano: Hook, Line and Tinker imagines a slow-motion, semi-exploded view of the many parts that make up a piano, from the internal action mechanism—levers, dampers and hammers—to the keys, strings, and cabinetry. Honouring treasured family heirlooms and countless neglected pianos that may be haphazardly discarded and unserviceable, the work invites audiences to pause and reflect on a piano's journey and its lifetime of musical stories.
Partners
Little Operations is generously supported by Chamber Made donors and the City of Melbourne.
