Opportunities in 2018 with our Partners and Associates

We do our best at Storytelling Australia Victoria to share as much storytelling news as we can gather that we believe is of interest to Victorians.

On Facebook we share any and all Victorian storytelling news, regardless of the membership status of the storytellers. This is a public site and is embedded in the HOME page of our website so you do not have to be a member of Facebook to check it out. There is always a lot to explore.

However this blog (which is free) is reserved for the news of our members, partners and associates. And some our good friends are hosting conferences and events and you might wish to toss your hat into the ring. So for those of you who have missed the posts on Facebook, here is the latest!

Thank you Louisa John-Krol and Teen Hartnett


  The story year is drawing to close.

Before we at Storytelling Australia Victoria central take a break from dreaming and planning, we have a few acknowledgements and thank yous to make.

The re-visioning of SAV over the past three years has been a slow and committed process from a small committee. After many voluntary hours, two of our members have decided to step to the side. We’d like to thank, from the depth of our hearts, the contributions made to the organization by Louisa John-Krol and Teena Hartnett.

Teena Hartnett
 
Teena stepped into multiple roles: administration secretary, membership secretary and treasurer. She has painstakingly set up systems, prepared our yearly statements ensuring the ongoing health and sustainability of our organisation. Teena also supported us in establishing World Storytelling Day as an annual event in our calendar, negotiated venues and graciously hosted. She has also hosted Stories by the Fire for us at the Newport Folk Festival.

In addition to these roles Teena has kept the communication open with members and planned our end of year celebrations. She also instigated the idea that we deepen our relationship with the Newport Fiddle and Folk Club and library partnerships. This has led to a Partnership with Hobsons Bay Libraries who now support us with a beautiful venue for our third Friday of the month gathering: Fabled Nights in Newport. Teena also introduced Storytelling Australia Victoria to the Foundling Archive and the Good Room and laid the groundwork for our inaugural event celebrating International Day of the Girl.

Louisa John-Krol
 
We wish to acknowledge the support offered by Louisa who took on the unexciting but essential role of Public Officer and the task of setting up our insurance. These roles can take one into labyrinthine spaces on the Internet and Louisa showed great perseverance and got us sorted!

However the greatest gift she has given, is the history of Storytelling Australia Victoria and the stories of our life members. With the wave of new people joining us, it was apparent that we did not know the history of the organization. Louisa spent well over a year researching, interviewing, and collating information and images. Her work is meticulous and it gives us great pride to see it up on the website. It is also a reminder that Storytelling Australia Victoria will be celebrating 40 years in 2018.

Louisa is also a member of the Australian Fairy Tale Society and she provides a strong link between our organisations. Many of our members belong to both groups.

Louisa continues with her writing and music. You can enjoy her work HERE

Our committee members oil the cogs and grease the wheels that keep us moving forward and we recognize they also work hard and have busy personal lives.

On behalf of the members and the committee, thank you Teena and Louisa for your support and the hours you have gifted Storytelling Australia Victoria. We look forward to seeing you at events and hearing you tell stories

And we look forward to introducing you to the brave new storytellers who have offered to step into these rather large shoes.

Jackie Kerin (president)

Midsummer Faerie Rade 21 January

Some news from our good friends at the Australian Fairy Tale Society.

They would like to give you the heads up for the annual Midsummer Faery Rade parade and picnic.

Roslyn Quin (Storytelling Victoria and member of the Australian Fairy Tale Society) will be telling tales in the Treasury Gardens after the Rade.


This is a free public event and all the details can be found on the Golden Owl website

November Fabled Nights - our last for 2017

Its been a joy watching this open story evening slowly find its feet and grow.

Some months the room is full to bursting with a cacophony of storytellers and listeners and some months, its a more sedate gathering.

We're grateful to enjoy a Partnership with Hobsons Bay Libraries who make this wheelchair accessible space at the Newport HUB available to us.

We have the use of a terrific kitchen with all mod cons and the room has a screen and projector which has led us to explore Skyping international storytellers, seeing what others are up to on You tube and in November, we welcomed digital artist Rex Smeal who not only drew a story for us, he drew us!

Our technological experiments have led to some hilarity but we are learning.

During the year we have shared Mcing, the taking of photographs and filming and Alex has bought us a set of lights that we will soon all learn to use. And of course we have shared kitchen duties. The purpose of Fabled Nights is to explore and grow and to that end, we have been diligent.

 Dave Davies captured by Rex on screen and by David Campbell in photo

 
We'll be back in 2018 on the third Friday of the month from March till November. Keep and eye on our website (the 2018 events are slowly being loaded into the calendar), sign up for the blog news and follow us on Facebook.

Come along to the final Fabled Nights for 2017. Come and celebrate with us a rich year of community and story sharing, cake eating and tea drinking. We'll be back again in March 2018.

Special Guest: Rex Smeal
If the universe works in our favour, this month we will have a special guest. Rex Smeal is a freelance animator and games artist. Our plan is to drop the screen in the HUB, hook up a computer and tablet and Rex will demonstrate how a story might be spontaneously illustrated. Rex moved to Melbourne from Tasmania just in time for PAX Australia 2017 and was the artist anchoring a panel whose task it was to design a board game in 60 minutes!
Fabled Nights in Newport is an open-hearted space for people who want to learn to craft true tales, traditional stories, tall tales and yarns; heart to heart and without notes. We welcome beginners and experienced folks. So come and strut your stuff, share what you know, try out a new story or tell a tale for the first time.
 

There's room for around 10 storytellers and we ask that stories be no longer than 10 minutes, give or take. We ask that stories be said not read.

International Day of the Girl

Lily-Ann
Heart felt thanks to all who joined us for this inaugural storytelling evening, an event marking the International Day of the Girl.

Thank you to the story tellers: Katherine, Roslyn, Anna, Jackie, Louisa, Devi, Suzanne, Lily-Ann, Miles and Alex. And a shout out to Kate who drew all the threads together and who hosted, to Jackie and Yogini, who assisted and to Teena who initiated the idea.

This was the first time Storytelling Vic has held an event in The Good Room at the Foundling Archive. If you don't already know, The Good Room is an intimate space with access for all, located in East Brunswick. Well worth investigating if you are planning a storytelling event.

Miles
Pictured are our two youngest storytellers. It has been one of the delights of 2017 watching these two develop their skills.

INVITATION: ‘One Thousand and One Tales’

Mojan Javardi is a film maker, is passionate about stories, and she has a project to share with us.
Mojan will be our special guest at: 
She is keen to meet storytellers and explain the ideas for her feature length documentary.

'One Thousand and One Tales' is a documentary and a book in the process about fairy tales, folktales and traditional stories within different cultures.
The project explores these stories to discover the heroes, villains and other minor characters within the tales.

The aim is to investigate the main messages of these stories and how they may have influenced us as children and how we look at them now as adults.

Mojan is also interested to share any bedtime stories, which have not been recorded as a text. Through this project the team have been thrilled when coming across such unwritten stories.

Selected stories will be part of the ‘One Thousand and One Tales’ printed book with a credit to the narrator. Also some of the storytellers will be invited to participate in the documentary based on their stories and willingness.

Please come along and meet Mojan and perhaps you would like to think about a story you encountered as a child and that you still hold in your heart. Many of you have stories you carry in your mother tongue, a language other than English. We would love to hear about this.
Lean more about Mojan and the team at Waking Dream Collective.
Mojan would like to film some of the storytelling at RAW and Newport but only where she has the teller's permission.  

* Remember Daylight Saving starts on Sunday 1st October. Don't forget to turn your clock forward an hour!!
