The Ballarat Poetess: Megan J Riedl x Ellen Young
In an impossible collaboration spanning 175 years, Megan J Riedl contemplates what it means to be the voice of a city.
Emerging from the ashes of her predecessor Ellen Young’s gold-rush era corset and crinoline, Megan explores how impactful moments of social change can be marked by the carefully crafted voices of difficult women.
In a work-in-progress showing of her debut full length solo performance, Megan ponders the power of the poetic voice – in finding resting places, in the cathartic nature of capturing the here and now, and in the dichotomy of searing truth-telling wrapped up in euphonic language.
Give this woman a soapbox.
A Megan J Riedl production presented in partnership with the Eureka Centre.

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities.
These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.
We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years.
As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
