On Sunday the 11th of July a sound artist will be presenting a soundscape called ‘Shrooms with a view’ on Radio National. According to the blurb it is inspired by the life , and living matter of our grand family friends called fungus.
My interest with Shrooms started as naughty teenager , after a hiatus for ten years I have once again become interested in this rich cow pat field of living things.
Over the summer I worked on this video edit of Polyglot Puppet Theatres Big Game project that was part of the Melbourne Festival 2008. Its an interesting , vibrant and fun multi-artform interactive theatre piece made by the children residents of Carlton Housing Estate in Victoria.
I was fortunate enough to be well-acquanited with this theatre group, enough so that I could really gather the essence of the project , documented through fifteen hours of tape to be succinctly edited down to a miniscule 10 minutes. Aaaah the editors job is never done.
It recently had a second life at the Singapore International Arts Festival and was well-recieved by both public and festival organisers themselves.
