An unfunded
collaborative performance is taking shape in Hobart next Sunday. This Wild Wise Self has a passion for performing arts and I am delighted to be hosting Women Reflect on
Life. Love. Lust. an intergenerational
and interactive performance with women from the North, North-West and South.
The line up is
exciting with younger women joining with older women in the performance space.
Poets Joan Webb and
Joy Elizabeth from Launceston and Veronica Mullins from Burnie will entertain
with their words and wit. Joan won the Tasmanian poetry cup and slam and
represented Tasmania at the Australian poetry slam. Veronica has been writing
stories and poetry for most of her life, influenced, she says, by her mother’s
songs and her father’s “tall stories.” Joy continues to share her poetry at
festivals and writers groups throughout Tasmania.
Tilley, Jane
Ruckert and Siska Garth will entertain
with their own music and song.
Tilley has a voice that swings with ease between angelic and
devilish. She'll challenge how you think you feel about ukulele, and
promises to leave you wanting more. Jane is a fiddler
from the band choon haus as well as an accomplished hurdy gurdy player and
singer. Siska who is from a musical family, plays guitar and sings her own
reflections.
Joan Crossin is a
storyteller of great mirth. Joan will be
singing some of her favourite Irish bawdy ballads.
My role is to weave
stories from the audience into the performance and share reflections of my own.
The venue is the
Westend Pumphouse at 105 Murray St. The
performance starts at 5.00pm and the cost is $5. Doors open at 4.15pm and refreshments are available at the venue.
