Words on the Wind

11/30/2014

6 Comments

 
Storytelling Australia Victoria (SAV) was successful in funding applications to the City of Melbourne for our project Words on the Wind. 
Words on the Wind is a series of free storytelling shows at the new Library at the Dock, running from July through to December 2014. Eight storytellers from Storytelling Australia Victoria have crafted six compelling tales to reflect their relationship to this part of Melbourne’s Docklands. 
On the 16th of October it was my turn, a date that conincided with the death of my brother in Balibbo East Timor and 12 days after my darling mum died. It was an emotional rollercoaster. Check out the Ghost of St KIlda Beach and scroll down for my short film about the Painters and Dockers.

A Storytelling Champion

11/8/2014

June Veronica Stewart
10th June 1928 to 4 October 2014

Farewell dear Junee, my storytelling champion. I was blessed with a mother passionate about literature, history and culture, an innate sense of social justice and love of mothering

Her favourite saying to me, as I headed off to tell stories, was "Sparkle"
Which is what Shirley temples Mum would say to her, it was our running gag. What I'll miss most is having my loving mother who I could skite to.

RIP darling Junee
