Hello dear friends, I’ve been busy doing private work over the past few months, but I am coming out of my cave for IDAHOBIT 2024 and moderating a panel at Eltham Library on 16 May.
With authors Will Kostakis, Michael Earp, and Hannah McElhinney, we are going to talk all about LGBTIQA+ Literature, community, libraries, and what the utopian future of queer lit might look like!
It is completely free to attend but registrations are required - book your ticket here.
I am thrilled to be a part of Writers Victoria’s Bold and Brilliant: Disabled and Deaf Writers showcase, alongside Alex Creece, Jessica Walton, and Carly Findlay this coming IDPWD!
We will be reading some of our work, and taking part in a Q&A panel afterwards. It’s going to be a lovely time!
I'm very excited to let you all know that I will be performing at QUIPPINGS: REBIRTH next month! With a focus on collaboration to produce longer pieces, this performance night of queer disabled artists is going to be something very special!! Get your tickets here - and don't wait too long, because we usually sell out!
Oh my goodness, I'm so excited to let you all know that alongside some amazing audio artists, I will be showcasing a new piece of audio art at Late Night Lit as a part of the Emerging Writers Festival! The theme is "Yesterday", and folks, the piece I have made for this event is some of my best work, I am so proud of it.
The event is 9pm on June 20, at the Loop bar and project space in the CBD. It's completely free to attend, so if you're able, you should definitely come check it out! It's going to be a wonderful night!
Sydney! I'm coming to you!
My coproducer Lee and I will be presenting at Audiocraft 2018! We'll be talking about how we make Love and Luck, and hopefully inspire a few more Aussies to dip their toes into audio drama!
It's going to be an amazing weekend, so if you can come along, you should! Buy tickets here.
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!
Well friends, exciting news today - I, as part of Quippings, will be performing at the Malthouse Theatre on June 15, as part of the Emerging Writers Festival! Quippings is taking on LOVE, and we're gonna throw ourselves into it with as much passion as we possibly can!
You can get all the details and buy tickets over on the EWF's website. It's going to be an amazing night and I really hope you come along!
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!
The best time of year for queer performance is coming! I am doing two shows at Midsumma 2017, and I really hope you are able to come along to them! The first is "I Hate Myself for Loving You", a spoken word night about attraction and repulsion (oh yeah, it's gonna be good), and the second is of course QUIPPINGS! Quippings is going to "Back to Our Roots" in Feb 2017, with repeat performances of previous artists and works from six years of Quippings. Both shows will have Auslan interpretation, and both are going to be really good nights. So please, check out the details on my upcoming appearances page, and I hope to see you during Midsumma!
Hello friends! I will be making an appearance at Quippings CRIPTOPIA in September! I'll be doing all four shows, so you can come to any of them and be sure you'll see me!
CRIPTOPIA is the Quippings crew asking, what does our perfect world look like? What does paradise mean for us? Our shows are always a celebration of diversity and difference from a disabled perspective, and this will be no exception.
I will not be doing a full piece, but rather a couple of shortened pieces, as well as some decorative rope bondage before the show. You may not recognize me at first...! I have quite the costume ready!
You can buy tickets to Quippings Criptopia here, and you can check out the facebook event for the shows here! All tickets are $15. I hope to see you there!
