Two Fires Festival

After some thirty years working as an actress/director/producer Susie Edmonds moved to Braidwood in 2002. She established Bushbaby Productions and continued producing works which extended her acting and directing practices, using many local performers. These include several play readings - performed in intimate venues in Braidwood, a performance/poetry/literary event entitled OUT LOUD at the creek with both Australian and International performers and her acclaimed performance in the award winning play COMFORT, which she also produced and directed. This event for the Two Fire Festival marks her first collaboration with Geoff Hoad.

Geoff Hoad has a deep spirituality that informs his interests in people, rural life and nature and is deeply involved in people’s day to day lives as an Anglican priest with special interests in rural communities, sustainability and spirituality. He sees art as an essential part of communal dialogue and has been involved in adapting a range of works for church and community that reflect an active spirituality for our world and its people.

Geoff is currently enjoying working with Susie, benefiting from her extensive background and training in theatre and writing.

Dennis Wild is an I.T. Analyst whose journey towards balance, beauty and social justice includes the bardic traditions of poetry, storytelling and song. His spoken word CD "Both Sides Yesterday" (2006) was well received for its social commentary and playful experimentations with voice. His long anticipated poetry chapbook "Just North of Bewilderment" will be launched during our Two Fires festival.
