Creativity for Community

It’s been almost a year and a half since I started my new creative business in Hobart. So many incredible artistic projects and performances have flowed into my life, I feel lucky and grateful. I’ve been particularly inspired meeting people who are using art for the benefit of our communities to bring more health and happiness in places where it is really needed. This has shifted my personal focus from being the performer on stage into new roles where I help produce and assist art project that have beautiful outcomes. The biggest project that has come into my life is producing ‘The Musiq Garden’, working with Kickstart Arts out at St John’s Park in New Town that is being transformed into a Creative Living Park, supporting creativity, sustainability, culture & community. As part of this vision ‘The Musiq Garden’ was launched in November last year with events running every Friday till December the 15 th . We had an abundance of fabulous local m...

Endings and New Beginnings

My final year of uni flew past, leaving me blinking in surprise as I looked down at my certificate, a Bachelor of Music Degree sitting in my hands. Waaaahhhh it’s finished! I feel so grateful to have spent the last 3½ years learning and exploring the incredible world of music. Ha,ha,ha in fact I think I could easily take a full life time to learn about it, if that was possible ;) It’s been a busy year outside of uni as well. Crankit Theatre, the troupe I’m part of, put on our first full production ‘Not Dead Yet’, a theatrical exploration of death and dying in a medley of puppetry and poetry, clown and cabaret, song and story, music and mask . We hope to re-stage the show next year for a longer season at the Moona Arts Centre…here’s some snippets to watch in the mean time. https://www.youtube.com/Highlights https://www.youtube.com/June's Story I’ve also been enjoying spinning and performing regularly with ‘The Fireflies’....

A World Tour

Where to start? From an enthusiastic idea, I watched my dream grow into a reality...emails, venue bookings, plane tickets...and...off to Thailand! I flew with my guitar and a big backpack for 8 months on the road. I began the trip with 3 1/2 months of yoga studies. Living in Southern Thailand on a gorgeous, tropical Island called Koh Pengang. Bike rides to and from the yoga school, a bungalow home, amazing Thai food and beautiful friends :) "Leaping Photo's" became a new trend...we are planning to spread this exhilarating experience around the world...tee,hee!! Did lots of songwriting and found myself drawn to the music venues, sharing and performing. Met a professional photographer, Esam Hassanyeh, who took some great pictures...perfect way to begin the music tour... First stop was Munich in Germany where I spent a sunny week enjoying all the flowers, the beautiful european buildings, watching people surf and swim in the freezing river...not for me...
