With another amazing Midsumma done and dusted, once again I've come to make sure that if you were unable to come to a show, you can still hear my spoken word!
Head on over to the updated spoken word audio page for audio and transcripts of the two pieces I performed at Midsumma this month, as well as many pieces from years before!
It's the best time of year!
I'm performing at two shows this Midsumma festival, both at the wonderful Hares and Hyenas in Fitzroy!
The first is THE BIG TIMES, Lisa Skye's spoken word event of the year. 7:30pm on the 17th of January, and you can buy tickets over here on the Midsumma site.
The second is QUIPPINGS: NOT NORMCORE, my beloved Midsumma home with my beautiful fellow disabled artists. 8pm on the 27th of January, and you can buy tix over here on the Midsumma site.
Both shows often sell out on pre bookings, so get in while you can, and I hope to see you there!
Missed me at Midsumma this year? Never fear, I've got your back. I've uploaded recordings of all three pieces I performed for 2017 Midsumma, and you can check them out over on the spoken word audio page! All with transcripts, of course!
My goodness, what a huge season it's been! This has been my biggest Midsumma yet - I performed at 2 shows, spoke on a panel about queerness and disability, and spoke after Pride March. It's been wildly busy and exhausting, but I've loved every second of it. I can't wait to see what next year will bring!
Going to Pride March? I know I am! Hopefully I'll be well enough to be marching with Vic Leather.
I am also very honoured to say that I've been asked to give a one minute address during the festivities after the march. The One Minute Addresses start at around 4:30pm, in Catani Gardens. If you are coming along to Pride March, I hope to see you there!
