WindRose 

is a multi-theatrical work soon to be published by inclusion in a collection of poems, plays, flash fiction and songs.


WindRose is "Everybody's Love Story". I began writing and illustrating WindRose on the west coast of Scotland and continued it on the east coast in megalithic tombs, Glastonbury and London. WindRose illustrations and the poem were finalised in Australia in NSW along the banks of the Hawkesbury River, in the Blue Mountains and at Port Stephens. Final editing happened in The Northern Territory while enjoying traditionally sacred places, and Berry Springs.

WindRose is an Epic Poem that stands by itself, but it has been adapted to a new-work ensemble theatre piece combining poetry, song, dance, silks, artwork and acting.

Cathy Applegate was commissioned to compose the full orchestration for WindRose. The official world premiere was performed by The Darwin Symphony Orchestra.

"Absence is to love as wind is to fire; it extinguishes the small and kindles the great''. Roger de Rabutin, Comte de Bussy (13/04/1618 - 09/04/1693), also known as Bussy-Rabutin, was a French memoir-writer.
