WORKSHOP: TEENA HARTNETT
True stories, said, not read
Sat June 20
10.00am
Learn how to craft stories from your life
or from the lives of others. Develop skills to speak from the heart, rather
than read, and deliver your story in a way that moves and entertains. You will
be helped to identify events and characters to create a personal narrative
beyond anecdote, to a satisfyingly shaped piece for telling. Wouldn’t you like
to step up to the mic and share a story?
Please bring pen and paper.
The workshops will culminate in a
performance at Santucci’s Café Carnegie.

Curated personal storytelling events have
never been so popular. In the US, there is The Moth (New York), This American
Life and in Australia there is the ABC’s Now Hear This. In Melbourne,
people gather throughout the year at thematic nights of story: The Cock and
Bull, Rocket Clock, Storytelling Nights at The Elwood Lounge and Laborastory.

The Echoes of Heirlooms

Join Miss Roslyn Quin at Antique Bar as she
dusts off a myriad of antiques to weave her original tales of the preposterous
from grandmothers and great uncles you never had... but on evenings such as
this, and with a teller like her, you can rest assured that the tales won’t stay
safely in the cabinets and drawers where she found them.

The Monash Fairy Tale Salon is hosting a
curious afternoon of madness and muchness as we go down the rabbit hole in
celebration of the 150th anniversary of Lewis Carroll’s classic Alice’s Adventures
in Wonderland. Come along and learn about the author and illustrators who
shaped literary history and gave us such wonderfully uncommon nonsense. For the
bold at heart (or the Queen of Hearts), come dressed as your favourite
wonderland character! This event - part of the Glen Eira Storytelling Festival
- is open to anyone who has a love for nonsense.

in the The Garden of Live Flowers
Listen to Alice in the The Garden of Live Flowers at Bandcamp HERE
Shrinking, expanding, the song sometimes drops out completely. Flowers speak, petals scatter... free-fall?
Would you like to be in this act? Feel like
swishing across the stage as a flower, darting as a rabbit, or sipping tea with
the March Hare, Mad Hatter and Dormouse? Puppets, butterflies, windchimes,
botanical hats and other quirks welcome: arielsflight@optushome.com.au
Happy Anniversary,
Alice!
