The Williamstown Literary Festival offered Storytelling Vic a
session to promote our organisation and our events. While inviting
broad discussion and guests from afar into Hobsons Bay, the Festival has
a strong local (western suburbs) focus.
The Literary
Festival is situated in the Williamstown Town Hall which is
connected to the library, making a fluid space for
'festivalising'! It was particularly apt that we presented in the Library as we are fortunate to have
attracted Hobsons Bay Library as a partner for our monthly gathering, Fabled Nights in Newport, giving us the Newport venue for no cost.
Several
of Story Vic's 'westies' stepped up to the stage and did us proud,
sharing true tales, fairy tale, and a little recitation. Dee represented
our monthly event in the RAW Garden, which she now hosts for
Storytelling Vic.
Our little video gives you a taste of the event.
Many
thanks to the storytellers who gave of their time and talents to
promote Storytelling Australia Victoria. As supporters of the
Williamstown Literary Festival, we were well recognised alongside other
fine organisations and individuals.
And thank you to
Alex Kharnam and Miles who filmed and took stills of 'Before there were
Books, there were Storytellers' so we can share something of the
event with those of you who couldn't join us on the day.
