VISITING+AUTHORS+AND+PERFORMERS

In the course of my work I have organised many school visits for authors and performers.

2009 is looking exciting with Dr Chua Ee Kiam and Shamini Flint visiting again. I am also hosting Kate Forsyth, Karen Wallace and Shoo Rayner in February.

I will upload records of their visits as thay happen, but for further information now, visit SILC-ASIA

In 2008 I am looking forward to hosting a visits from Dr Chua Ee Kiam, Simon Higgins and Andreas Litras.

My colleague, Liz Watt, organised a visit by Narelle Oliver to our school. Narelle worked with Year 4 students. I put together a powerpoint as a record of her visit.

As there does not seem to be very much information available online about Andreas so I have uploaded his promotional brochures to this website. I will add to this information after his visit to my school in January 2008.

Andreas is a playwright and a performer whose solo theatre production **Odyssey** weaves the stories of his family's migration from Greece to Australia through the classic Greek text, Homer's Odyssey. Andreas performs a children's verion of Odyssey - Myths and monsters. This show is aimed at children aged from 4-12 years. Andreas will be performing both of these shows at my school.


 * __THERE WILL BE TWO PERFORMANCES OPEN TO THE WIDER SCHOOL COMMUNITY - THEY ARE:__**

22 JANUARY - 4PM: MYTHS & MONSTERS 23 JANUARY - 4PM: THE ODYSSEY

A limited number of tickets will be on sale at $5 for students and $10 for adults from the Central Administration Building and School Offices during Week 2.

Support material for this show is available on the school VLE (moodle) in the Junior Library course. You do not need to enrol to access this information
