“Mushrooms were the roses in the garden of that unseen world, because the real mushroom plant was underground. The part you could see – what most people called a mushroom – was just a brief apparition. A cloud flower.” – Margaret Atwood (The Year of the Flood) (at The Royal Botanic Garden, Sydney) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLTc2fsgC-L/?igshid=1pmurhmq9gssx

“Like Abraham Lincoln, I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts, and beer.” – General Douglas MacArthur (except last 2 words, which are apocryphal) (at Woolloomooloo Bay) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLK1drrA0Pq/?igshid=10dn540zbd784

“We jumped into water so clear and warm that it was like jumping from air to air. The sand rose up under us and we floated to where it met the sea and walked out of the water like creatures in an act of evolution.” Elisabeth Eaves, Wanderlust: A Love Affair with Five Continents (at Woolloomooloo) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp4Oj2LgqQG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zyk24ujunl7j

The extraordinary cast & crew at opening night of Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam. I’ve seldom seen a novella translate onto stage this well.

Deep, heartfelt thanks to Australia Council and the peers for funding this imaginative venture from ANAM. 100 years ago, Debussy died leaving his final project of 6 sonatas incomplete. There are no sketches, but he specified the 13 instruments in detail. So for ANAM to premiere throughout the 2018 Debussy Centenary, I am composing the 3 unwritten sonatas, to be performed alongside Debussy's own sonatas… no pressure!
