Meanwhile,

In light of the @ausballet's imminent announcement of their 2018 season in Sydney today, and last night's @ausdance_victoria awards in Melbourne, you can read my response to 'Symphony in C', drawn up especially for @fjordreview, and reposted to #Marginalia. http://www.graciahaby.com/home/2017/9/25/dem-dancing-bones ⚫️

And from the library of photocopied tales (thanks for another marvellous, seamless, and bright #zinefair, @stickyinstitute) to the annual Australian Dance Awards 2017 we go. Quickly, quickly, lace them skates. (The @ausdance_victoria awards recognise and honour professional Australian dance artists who have made an outstanding contribution to Australian dance. See more on @fjordreview's Stories shortly.) (Image credit: 'The Dark Chorus' (Lucy Guerin Inc), photographed by Gregory Lorenzutti)

"Round like a beetle. Round like a ball. Like a plate, a coin, and a colour wheel. Round like the full moon, hanging high above." Or a coil of text in an edition of 'Round, circle, dot', resting upon our 'Looped' display #inthelibrary (#LaTrobeReadingRoom, until the 26th of November).

Owls, #SalvagedRelatives, and a flutter of birds. We're here, at @stickyinstitute's #Tonerpalooza at @library_vic until 4pm today, but a zine away from 'Self-made'. #zines

With cats in mind, we're looking for are to calling in on our paper tailed and wild ones in the #LaTrobeReadingRoom this weekend. (It has been a little while and we are curious to hear what they have seen and read.) The @stickyinstitute's #zine fair, #Tonerpalooza, at @library_vic, is happening tomorrow and Sunday. We have a stall on the Sunday, and would love to see you there.

A pair of big, unblinking, golden eyes. In her 'safe house', in our bathroom, this is all we have seen of our new little #RSPCA #fostercat. With thanks to Henri Rousseau (detail from 'The Dream', 1910, in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art). #timid 🐅

We have a new #RSPCA #fostercat in our care. A tiny little #bengal who has yet to see much of the world, and we've yet to see much of her. She'll be staying with us a while as we work on helping her with her timidity.

210 leaves, cut. 210 leaves, to glue in place. On #theworkingtable, on a Friday afternoon, something pretty forms.

And this fine white feline is Mystique (No. 789225). She was tricky to capture, as she preferred cuddles, nuzzles, and ear rubs. She is 8-years-old and available for #adoption at the #RSPCA East Burwood shelter.

This butterscotch sweetheart is one of many #adoptables currently at the #RSPCA East Burwood shelter. Sprinkles (No. 875851) is a 4-year-old ginger girl in need of a quiet home, and she is in possession of a wonderful little trill.

To complete a set of five, the last four titles (all edition 4/6), delivered to @douglasstewartfinebooks. 'No longer six feet under', 'Disrupted and rumpled', 'Dim wood, spark bright' and 'A warmed pebble in my hand' join 'I think all the world is falling', a series which can be read in any order, as 'Looped', currently at @library_vic, shows. You can curl this tale however you please, like a Cheshire Cat of parts.

Jury Herz’s #MORGIANA (1972), with or without the siamese cat. Nope, #JuryHerz's Morgiana because of the siamese cat. And in my mind, I'll read the sisters, Klára and Viktorie Trangan, as one character. (Herz was "forbidden to portray #schizophrenia by the Czech administration, who deemed it sadomasochistic," hence the two sisters. Rhiannon Dalglish, Senses of Cinema). Paint my lids blue, and saturate the #palette, just be sure to pass the siamese cat. *purrs*
