From Your Animal's debut live album Peacock Dove Eagle recorded live at the Toff In Town, Melbourne 2008.

Roy Orbison wrote and sang this masterpiece in 1961. Every one who has ever covered Crying embodied Roy's own restraint and melodrama yet made it their own. Of all the Crying's though, Roy's is the most perfect. His countenance of internalised pain contains pitch-perfect passion without the hysteria of pain; to say it is sublime is not an overstatement. I was particularly moved by the Rebekah Del Rio version from David Lynch's Mulholland Drive and that was what prompted me to join the Crying Club. Enjoy

Your Animal Are: Julie Montan, Brigitte Hart and Jarred Brown

Crossings is EWF's new podcast series of in-conversations between local writers & artists.  Each episode pairs two artists whose practices exist at the threshold of one another. These free-flowing, intimate conversations are coloured by curiosity, attentiveness and enquiry. Hear novelists, poets, playwrights, screenwriters, publishers, musicians, architects and photographers proffer questions and perspectives about the minutia of their creative and professional practices.

Place as Protagonist explores memories and place in the city through two modes of storytelling: online map-based community engagement platform CrowdSpot, and a storytelling event that brings a mix of voices together with a prompt to share a story about a time when the city made them laugh or cry.
Come along to the event and hear a mix of storytellers share their stories through a medium that speaks to them, whether that’s spoken word, song, sound or dance.
