Lost something? If you lost a set of keys last night or this morning and know this spot they were still there around midday.

Hilariously funny hall stories with comedian Damien Callinan filled Glen Eira Town Hall with laughter yesterday.

From mod and sharpie dancing bought to us by those that had seen Lobby Lloyd and the coloured balls at the town hall to a reenactment of the Queens of the halls from 1957 and a quiz about our first woman councillor and Mayor Gladys Wallace Machion.

Thanks to an amazing audience for their participation and Damien and the staff who saw the potential for this production.

Keep your eyes peeled for more Glen Eira Arts and Culture gems.

Last night I attended Glen Eira Council’s Storytelling Festival authors talk ‘From One Idea to Another’. Authors Wil Kostakis, Melanie Cheng and Anna Snekstra discussed their writing methods, inspirations and frustrations with Jacinta Parsons at the Glen Eira Town Hall. It was a lovely discussion with great insights and stories from authors I am now looking forward to reading. Thank you to Benn's Books Bentleigh for being on hand to give me immediate access. Thanks to the Glen Eira City Council - Arts and Culture team for making this event happen.

Thanks to James and Mark for opening Glen Eira’s storytelling festival last week with a welcome to country and a story about our infinitesimally unique planet and opportunity to live in harmony.

The weather wasn’t kind, but our arts and culture team pivoted and Benny Walker warmed us with a beautiful acoustic performance and his songs in the Carnegie library forecourt.

This was a magical evening. Keep your eye on The Glen Eira arts and culture social media feed for more of these wonderful opportunities.
