Geoff Kelso, actor, comedian, writer and
storyteller lives in Western Australia but spends a large part of every year
travelling around the country performing.
He is one of the inaugural cast members and
creators of a piece of storytelling theatre that was first developed in 1994.
‘Bindjareb Pinjarra’ has never been written down and is passed on to new cast
members orally. Although the story remains the same, the text is fluid. This is
a unique and enduring project working within the frame of traditional oral
storytelling.
When Geoff visited Melbourne recently, it
seemed like a good opportunity to sit him down and get him to share something
of the process behind this remarkable collaborative story.
Cast and creators of ‘Bindjareb Pinjarra’ from 1994 to the present:
Geoff Kelso, Kelton Pell, Phil Thomson, Isaac
