Birds Scene IPAC

2007 China
Glynn was invited along with six other international artists to exhibit her paintings in a multinational modern art exhibition titled 'Being' at the Zhu Qizhan Art Museum in Shanghai 2007. The gallery is a public contemporary art museum in the Hongkou District. The exhibition theme ‘Being’ looked at the importance of nature, animals and the environment. I also presented a multi media work with narration based on my Strange Memories film for the opening ceremony of the exhibition working with a local performer Shao Bai who narrated in Mandarin.

Illawarra Performing Arts Centre (IPAC)
Strange Memories has been selected for the Merrigong Theatre Development Program at the Illawarra Performing Arts Centre, Wollongong Australia. www.merrigong.com.au

In 2006 & 2007 the first stage was completed which was script development: exploring the theatrical ideas within the script. Glynn worked with Anne-Louise Rentell (director) and Shane Lomman (lighting designer), Helen McLean and Jess Waterhouse (performers) to investigate the theatrical potential of the work in pre-existing forms (painting, songs and text). A number of scenes from the text were selected to explore the integration of image and sound. Peter Dalmazzo assisted with technical support.

In 2008 development of the full script continues.


Strange Memories Performance June 2006.

Even though it was a night of squalling rain and dark winding roads, it was a full house for the first NSW performance of Strange Memories. An audience made up of all ages from three to ninety three were enthralled with the images and sound created by the cast of talented performers – Nina Morrison, Jane McIntosh, Anne Stuart, Anna Glynn.
