Hosted by celebrated Melbourne storyteller Jackie Kerin, this is one you won't want to miss! 

Saturday August 19  

8:30 pm – 9:30 pm

Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery

The Laborastory brings together five scientists to tell the stories of their science heroes in ten short minutes. Hear stories of tragedies and triumphs and maybe learn a little bit along the way.

The Laborastory in Tasmanian is making its debut at BeakerStreet@TMAG, a pop-up science bar at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery 18-20 August! 

Full Beaker Street Program HERE 

BeakerStreet@TMAG is FREE and open to the public but designed for an adult audience.  

Registration for talks is not required and does not guarantee a seat, but it will be a great help to the organisers (scientists like numbers). 

* The Laborastory is a regular Melbourne event. Check it out. Science Storytellers rock!

Fabled Nights in Newport: August 18

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.
Let kind hearts and commonsense prevail: racist and homophobic stories hurt people so please don't bring them to Fabled Nights.

TIME: 12.00 - 2.00 pm
WHERE: 325 South Road Brighton East

Bookings are not necessary.
Enter by the drive way gate.

In August, it was so cold, we had to decamp to the Community Centre over the road. But we'll be back in the garden for September. Thank you Tatiana Scott for the beautiful photos and to all the storytellers and listeners - brilliant tales of travel, risk and adventure!

One of the delights of the afternoon was the presence of mother and son: Mariam and Abdul. Abdul shared with us his memory of moving to Australia from Kenya as a ten year old. He thought he was going to see snow but the family arrived in Melbourne in November. He held onto the notion that he would eventually see snow in June but that was not to be. He has still never seen snow. And it never snows in Brighton East!
