David
Stavanger
David Stavanger is an award winning poet, writer, and cultural producer. In 2013 he
won the Arts Queensland Thomas Shapcott Poetry Prize, resulting in the release
of his first full-length collection of poetry The Special, which was also
awarded the 2015 Wesley Michel Wright Prize. At the 2014 Queensland Literary
Awards he received a Queensland Writing Fellowship to develop his next two
collections. David is also the Co-Director of the Queensland Poetry Festival.
The
Fanciful Fiction Auxiliary
Fanciful Fiction Auxiliary is a fictitious amateur writers’ group comprised of
miscellaneous oddball characters with ‘ideas’ about their place in the literary
world. The various ‘members’ of the auxiliary are devised and performed by a
revolving group of established and emerging writers who have been invited to
turn bad, go rogue, overwrite, underwrite. 'Do it Wrong.'
The FFA
has appeared at Woodford Folk Festival, Bad!Slam!No!Memoir!, the Brisbane
Fringe Festival, and the Queensland Poetry Festival.
Tessa
Rose
Tessa
Rose is a poet and performance artist. She has performed at Brisbane Square
Library, Ruckus Slam, The National Folk Festival, and Woodford Folk Festival.
She performs avant-Jazzercise with Pascalle Burton in 24-Hour Gym, composes
Twin Peaks found poetry, and co-produced the Old Museum’s spoken word open mic
night, BAD!SLAM!NO!MEMOIR!
Beige
Browne
Beige
Brown is Australia’s foremost feminist performance poet. Her permutative sound
poetry introduces productive uncertainty into the phallogentric thrust of
mainstream literary culture, fissuring the pompous edifice and causing little
word-rivulets to trickle out from many smaller openings. A previous participant
at Noted, she has been willfully excluded from other larger literary festivals,
yet is highly regarded by the discerning amongst Australia’s literary
cognoscenti.
