Interview: Michelle Buxton re Map 57: St Kilda’s Winter Garden

Michelle Buxton talks to David about a new event in St Kilda called Map 57: St Kilda’s Winter Garden on from 15 June to 30 July at St Kilda Triangle, St Kilda.

Michelle and her husband Andrew Walker have a company which is  behind such events as the Garden Of Unearthly Delights at the Adelaide Fringe Festival, and is also responsible  for introducing the Speigeltent to Adelaide and then to Melbourne. Michelle discusses these things and more with David. Map 57… is a new event that Michelle and Andrew are producing in St Kilda.  Michelle really wanted to do an event in St Kilda because she lives there. Also, for those too young to remember beyond the GPS system, Michelle explains that the map reference is the page in the Melways Street Directory that refers to most of St Kilda!!

She explains the event as part seaside carnival, part performing arts festival (including theatre, cabaret, music ,comedy and family shows). The Aurora Spiegeltent is already up and a big Ferris wheel is being erected called The Sky Wheel. Apart from the tent, the other performing venue is The Box which is beautifully designed and acoustically excellent. There are also small bars, food stalls, some rides AND an ice-skating rink!

Michelle details some of the shows on including Blanc De Blanc, Vika & Linda, Fiona O’Loughlin, Djuki Mala and a number of others including children’s shows (which kick in in July when school holidays begin).
