"Confessions" (Emerging Writers Festival)

Ana Maria Gomides, Aimee Knight, Jamie Marina Lau, Bastian Fox Phelan, Mira Schlosberg and Nevena Spirovska. Each reading a 'confession' in a darkened theatre, in which the audience members wore blindfolds. The confessions leaned heavily towards identity; my favourites were Jamie Marina Lau's, starting from that Dorothy Parker short story about the woman awaiting a phone call, and the one (I don't know whose) that was mostly excerpts from a university diary, before she knew (or 'knew') she was lesbian. All female or non-binary.
