Firstly, the Mall Stories 2 callout has been extended to 4 January. Secondly, something to kickstart your mall story-ing: back in 2008 I made a zine about Canberra. Recently CJ pointed out that in that zine I had promised a second volume sometime in “late 2012″. Well, sad to say the second volume is still [...]
Well, now Corinbank is over for another year (and ten or so runs of my Live Action Canberra Choose Your Own Zombie Adventure) I can get back on with planning for my next festival event. Namely: Mall Stories 2 @ You Are Here 2013 (check back here and here for a reminder on the Mall Stories project). [...]
Last weekend I performed Live Action Canberra Choose Your Own Adventure (LAC-CYOA) at Art, Not Apart. A good friend managed to record most of it – I’ve posted in the last part of the run through in which the player meets his/her unfortunate demise at the hands of four hack-sack playing law students. And here are [...]
It’s been pretty quiet round here. Following the last Folk Festival I took a break from poetry activities and visited the US for the first time.

I’m very excited that next year I’m going to be running a project as part of Canberra’s You Are Here festival. I can’t say too much about it yet, but it will allow me to explore some ideas I’ve been itching to try out over the last two years. The best bit about this is you [...]
After one extremely massively sweaty ACT poetry battle we now have two champions that will represent the Canberra at the national final on 27 November: Third time ACT finalist Adam “Jacinta” Hadley‘s idiosyncratic bread of insanity/genius will knock Sydney audiences for six. Australian Poetry Slam newcomer Miranda “Bling Bling” Lello combines beautiful words and images [...]
Well it’s that time of the year again… time for Australian Poetry Slam! This year we’re only running one ACT heat so, unfortunately, this’ll be the one and only shot for Canberra poets to perform at the nationals (for other areas check the Australian Poetry Slam site).
