Backstories – Bunbury
Oct 30, 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Stirling Street Arts Centre
Backstories is a multi-sited storytelling festival located in the suburbs of Western Australia. Spend a lazy afternoon with friends and family in the comfort of your neighbour’s backyard to listen to two trained storytellers. Pack a picnic, bring something to sit on, and put your mingling hat on – it’s going to be a rippa arvo!
Featuring storytellers Widi Astuti and Shizleen Aishath, with music by Jim Harte and facilitated by Dominque Bayens.
Organised in partnership with Bunbury Museum and Heritage Centre.
WHAT TO BRING
Bring your own snacks, drinks, or a picnic dinner. Please make sure you bring a picnic rug or a lawn chair to sit on as seating is not provided.
ACCESSIBILITY
Backstories is located in residential backyards so we cannot guarantee that all backyards will meet your access needs. We would like to make Backstories accessible to as many people as possible and encourage you to get in touch by phone or email to discuss your access needs.
