Hello world!

Posted by Mary Louise Tucker on 2 November 20072 November 2007

I am brand new to blogging. I want to try it out to see if I can discipline myself to write regularly, develop stories or record memories. We’ll see how it goes.

Everyone was soooo into Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino. #pizzica #womadelaide @womadelaide

Rosa Matto is hosting Angélique Kidjo who is making a traditional chicken dish from Benin, her country of birth in West Africa, using her mum’s special blend of spices. The conversation is funny and delightful. I feel a real camaraderie between these two women. #womadelaide #tastetheworld @angeliquekidjo @rosa.matto

I’m happy when autumn arrives and the colours soften a bit. Glenelg was absolutely pastel today. #yayforautumn

Robyn Archer is an artist, arts advocate, singer, writer, theatre director, producer, composer, festival director. She’s been called a national treasure, a cabaret icon. And she is just opened her exhibition 'Picaresque' with a show tonight in the Banquet Room of the Adelaide Festival Centre. The exhibition itself is a collection of cardboard 'marquettes' (scale models) of iconic buildings, vehicles and monuments from around the world. Until now, they have been flat-packed and unseen. Robyn has developed her own unique vocal style and she never fails to wow. Tonight is no exception. She took us on a world tour in song. What a joy. Robyn was accompanied on stage by the great George Butrumlis on accordion. The travel memorabilia leading into the room is incredible too. #adlFest @adelaidefestival

Adelaide Festival Centre with Riverbank Palais in full swing tonight. #adlFest #thepalaisAF

An incredible amount of sensitivity and courage is required when writing a novel to ensure you don’t appropriate another’s culture. But as Rebecca Makkai says she would hate to have to write a book only about people like herself. Both Rebecca and Molly Murn are at the final session of #AdlWW. Molly writes about the precarious territory navigating first contact on Kangaroo Island and Rebecca writes about the first wave of the AIDS syndrome in America. Great sesh on ‘Other People’s History’. Farewell and thanks for another great @adelwritersweek. @adelaidefestival

The weather has cooled and the afternoon light is soft. Alice Pung is chairing a great panel of writers discussing journeys and place. All migrants or children of migrants discussing how they have dealt with the state of exile, fleeing war or unfriendly political situations, appreciation for their new home. Thank you Moreno Giovannoni, Sisonke Msimang and Future D. Fidel. #adlww #adlfest

What a great honour to hear Markus Zusak discuss the ideas and stories that created his much-awaited Bridge of Clay. He is offering a very intimate look at his process. The backstories, the characters, the love and the emotion of this man. So generous, so humble. #adlww @adelaidefestival @adelwritersweek

See the stage way over yonder? The crowd gathering for #markuszusak must be a million deep. #adlww #adlfest @adelwritersweek @adelaidefestival
