It's getting chilly out there! Rug up with some cool exhibitions, an art festival, and a free film.
The Next Wave Festival continues to blast chilly air into every crevice of the stuffy artistic community. Check out After the Rainbow, a post-modern mash-up of The Wizard of Oz and A Star is Born. I also recommend 'A Good Death', on Sunday May 23, from 5 - 7 PM, in Mary Star f the Sea Church, 33 Howard St, West Melbourne. If seeing performance artists re-enact the grisly deaths of various Catholic martyred saints is your bag, you'll be ensured a bucked of laughs! Odd and strangely funny.
The emerging writer's festival kicked off today, and includes some interesting gems.
The Living Library, this Saturday, gives you a chance to chat to experts on various topics: they are essentially there as a book in fleshy form. You can borrow one of these real-life 'books' for 15 minutes. The living library project at the festival focuses on writing and getting published, so 'books' include Freelance writer John Bailey, Dale Campisi, Editor, and Chris Meade, Director for the Future of the Book, who will be giving advice on blogging and new media in general. For a full list go here.
There's the Page Parlour, in Fed Square's the Atrium, this SUnday - a special edition of the 2nd hand book stall emporium we all know and love.Stuck in a life with... includes a variety of literary giants as interviewed by a famous fan, and members of the audience. This Saturday's edition is Paddy O'Reilly as interviewed by Jennifer Mills. See more here.
