Denmark story tellers are nearly ready to entertain you! We’ve cleaned and polished the venue & are in our final week & a bit (eek) of rehearsals. We are presenting a mix of traditional & freshly created tales during the Brave New Works Festival, from 31 Oct till 3 Nov. Tickets are on sale at Denmark Arts online (link in bio) or at the door. Three scary tales (including my retelling of La Llorona) will be presented on Halloween, followed by 3 performances of 3 more tales each on the weekend. The whole marvellous concoction is under the warm directorly genius of Silvia Lehmann (centre). On a more serious note, despite Silvia’s 20+ years of experience devising and staging successful & much-loved theatre which has involved many professional writers & musicians as well as set & lighting designers, & is solidly grounded in community participation she & her co-creator, Nicola Le Breton, were unable to get funding despite applying for 3 separate grants. Feedback from one was: ‘we know you’ll manage to put the show on even without money’. A local theatre designer had turned down other work to do this project but without funding couldn’t be paid & is now without income for a month. This story telling project is so low tech we are using a venue that has neither electricity nor plumbing. Even with funding, it’s all done by barely covering costs. By attending locally made theatre (& dance & music) not only do you get the fab experience of that particular event, but your ticket helps contribute to supporting the people who make the work so that they can keep on creating.

Its the season for wildflowers and stick-picking, in gorgeous late afternoon light. The Karri trees drop generous swathes of branches and bark. The rain wasn’t consistent this past wet season, but there is still enough moisture around to support the mozzies. *horse flies not shown*
