Michelle Lunicke Makes Adelaide Fringe Debut with I'M FROM UP AND OVER
By: BWW News Desk Feb. 19, 2015
Michelle leaves her coastal rainy home in the Pacific Northwest to travel the eastern coast of Australia and the outback towards the Red Center. Living out of her trusty car "Alice" she is at first fascinated by "the other New World," but is soon overwhelmed by cultural differences and misunderstandings about her culture.
Armed with sincerity, awkwardness, and humor she uses her travel stories to set everyone straight (well, maybe not straight) about the real North America, and to share a little of the country least traveled by Australians....Australia.
Part acting, part TED talk, and part social media event, I'm From Up Over is Michelle's fringe debut that holds a mirror to her southern hemisphere cousins and herself in this quest for adventure and identity.
Michelle Lunicke is an emerging writer and performer who hails from the Cascadian region of North America. Born in the US and trained in Canada, she brings her multi-cultural experiences to all her work. She performs and writes across genres on themes of identity, belonging, and culture, as well as nature and the magic in our everyday world. Her previous work includes theatre, film, live poetry, gallery performance, fiction, and exploratory forms. She blogs at http://michellelunicke.com.
