I’m performing at the opening party for Footscray West Writers Festival this Friday alongside Maxine, Thabani and Emilie – yes all your faves!
Each writer is doing live collabs with other artists – Chris Ferric will be painting while I speak – I don’t know what the others are doing so it’ll be a surprise to me too. Actually at this point I haven’t even really decided what I’m doing. But the Orbweavers’ music was a highlight of last year’s festival for me so I’m really looking forward to that as well as hearing everyone read.
