Stage is set for well-crafted words

Greater Dandenong’s poets and spoken word artists can take the stage at a special showcase in June.
The event at Walker Street Gallery and Arts Centre in Dandenong is part of the Emerging Writers Festival, which gives new and emerging writers opportunities for professional development and to perform or publish their work.
“This is a great opportunity for our talented local artists and performers to have their work included,” Greater Dandenong mayor Jim Memeti said.
“We’re excited to give our own creative voices the chance to be represented alongside some of the best emerging storytellers in Australia.”
The Walker Street Gallery and Arts Centre Emerging Writers’ Festival performance showcase will run from 6.30pm to 7.30pm on Saturday 17 June.
