Admella 150 Project

When: Friday 14 August and Saturday 15 August
Dusk (around 5:30pm)

What: A tour around the Portland North Cemetery which will last for 20-40 minutes. Along the tour the party will stop at certain places where they will witness: poetry readins, short performances, visual stimuli etc.

If you would like to be a part of this, the project is looking for short pieces of themed writing: poems, short fiction, monologues or dialogues.

Pieces should only go for 1-3 minutes maximum (very short) and should be creative and fictional.

Themes include: funerals, cemeteries, the Admella (of course), burial rites, death, ghosts, memories, past/present, fictional biographies... spooky stuff. For example you could write a monologue for a ghost who is dressed in a wedding dress and still pining for the man who was supposed to be meeting her at the altar, but who never made it back from the rescue attempt.

The project already has a few things booked including:
The Cockatoo Song Group
A Large Sail Boat 'thing' that will be carried through the cemetery
Choir

If you'd like to write something, but don't want to perform it, Ash has volunteered his Year 9 Drama class to do the readings.

For more information see Ash.
