Join us as we celebrate reading and storytelling with some of your student’s favourite authors and illustrators!
Hosted by comedian and Frankie Fish series author Peter Helliar, our stellar lineup of authors - Sally Rippin (Billie B Brown series), Gregg Dreise (My Culture and Me) and Andrew McDonald (Real Pigeons series) - work together to create and narrate an imaginative and collaborative story, line by line.
Listening attentively, the evolving story is illustrated LIVE by 3 celebrated illustrators - Ben Wood (Real Pigeons series), Chris Kennett (School of Monsters series), and Shiloh Gordon(The Underdogs series). They’re all listening to the same story as it evolves, but will their illustrations all LOOK the same when revealed at the end? Together Peter Helliar and our other talented creators will discuss the multiple interpretations a single story can have while introducing students to key storytelling techniques, encouraging them to think in ways that are imaginative, creative, interpretive and critical.
This event is presented by Sydney Opera House in association with Australia Reads. This event is supported by the Copyright Agency Cultural Fund.
