The Australian Poetry Hall of Fame
Australian Poetry Hall of Fame Case for support. What am I trying to do? In an unused theatre in Guyra I have created the Australian Poetry Hall of Fame to preserve Australian poetry, songlines and languages. My mission is to create the Greatest Poetry Show on Earth and celebrate, develop and expose Australian poetry and performance poetry to a world audience in perpetuity. The vision is to develop the Arcadia theatre site into a multipurpose, tourism, arts and cultural precinct with a focus on Australian Poetry. The massive vision is for an integrated arts and culture precinct in the development of the whole Arcadia theatre site which includes, events, festivals, artist workshops, poets in residence, recording and video production studio, Australian poetry archive, an audio archive, Indigenous songlines and language hall and a centre for the learning and development of poetry and performance. And why the hell should someone want to help me do it?
- Because I have years of experience as an English teacher, entrepreneur, artist and nationally recognized published poet who is passionate about poetry, languages and linguistics, arts and culture.
- Because I have a massive vision for an integrated arts and culture precinct in the development of the whole Arcadia theatre site which includes, events, festivals, artist workshops, poets in residence, recording and video production studio, Australian poetry archive, an audio archive, Indigenous songlines and language hall and a centre for the learning and development of poetry and performance.
- Because I have a long track record of setting goals and achieving my vision, through, planning, dogged determination, dedication, conscientiousness, wit, intelligence and most of all passion.
