My friend and collaborator Sarah Depasquale
and I have some shows coming up.
Tales from the Flyway was developed out of a love for urban wetlands and birds, especially those found at our doorstep in Hobsons Bay.
Together we will take you on a journey
following the path of migratory shore birds, from south-east Australia to
Siberia, along the East Asian Australasian Flyway. The show is playful and
occasionally enlightening.
The structure of Tales from the Flyway is simple. If we were to fly with the
birds and visit the chain of wetlands in the countries along the Flyway, what
stories might we hear? I’ve collected stories from Indonesia, Thailand and
Siberia and Sarah has woven them together with Vivaldi, Bach, Massenet and
pieces she has composed especially.
Our final story is a kamishibai that has been
passed down the Flyway from the Yatsu-Higata Observation Centre in Japan, to
Boondall Wetlands in Brisbane (2008) and then on to us for telling in Hobsons
Bay (2015). Receiving this story is a confirmation that there are people who
see the big picture and don’t allow obstacles to get in the way of an idea.
