Dear Friend of the Story Tree,

Twas not in my time, ’twas not in your time, but it was in somebody’s time…

A traditional story beginning

Thanks so much for attending my show ‘ReWilding Red Riding Hood’ in May and joining my story tree newsletter! This is a quick missive, as I am busily helping at Northey Street City Farm preparing for our Winter Solstice Festival this Saturday. It will be fabulous and very affordable- do check out the program, rich with First Nations presenters and perfomers. I will also tell a short story aided by 2 Earth Kids at 6.30pm. Hope to see you there!

Below are more upcoming events. Find more at my website events page.

After the success of my 3 Anywhere Festival shows, I have been planning to put on a regular-ish story event at The Woods Bar in Mitchelton. I was waiting to hear back from the owners, but apparently they are away in the UK for a few months, so that plan is on pause. I am pondering a participative Story Circle, rather than a performance there.

Meanwhile, I am telling stories locally and in nearby regions. Here are the next ones.
