The Melbourne Fringe Festival is in full
swing and a couple of Vic storytellers have been collaborating on an
interdisciplinary piece celebrating World Rivers Day. Beginning on the lawn
outside The Dock Library, Scenes on the Yarra took the audience on a guided walk along North Wharf. The audience heard the creation story for the
Yarra, visited the place where the Alma Doepel is being restored and the wooden
boat shed, as well as being treated to projected installations, dance and
poetry. This project has been moving down the River: Warburton, Healsville, Yarra Glen, Warrandyte, Herring Island.
In March 2016 Scenes on the Yarra will arrive in Williamstown, at the mouth of the Yarra.
The Artists: Rebecca Page, Simon Oats, Christian Bishop, Joey Soh, Jutta
Pryor, Matteo Volpi, Elisabeth Henderson, Lana Woolf, Vivienne Halat, Stepanka
Cervinkova, Alicia Fernandez, William Veitch, Ceitidh Hopper and Jeminah Alli
Reidy.
