🌟 PERFORMER SPOTLIGHT 🌟

Katie Lohner is a spoken word and performance artist from Naarm (Melbourne). Her quirky and vigorous performance style has touched audiences including LaMama Cabaretica and Melbourne Spoken Word Festival. Her poetry has been described as being unencumbered with a sense of freedom and joy. Her practice also extends from poetry to a range of physical theatre and character comedy. Her solo play ‘The Hungry Poet’ was nominated for Best Words and Ideas at the 2023 Melbourne Fringe Festival.

‘Mother Tongue feels like my poetic birthplace. They gave me my first feature and Fleassy and the community have been great great mentors, friends and an ever following giant mug of creativity… for over… YES 9 years! I feel so blessed to be on the Women of Fire lineup with these incredible incredible artists’ - Katie

The absolutely jaw-dropping Carina Bettiol will be gracing the Mother Tongue stage on May 9th! 🥳

We first met Carina at Seven Sisters Festival where she came and performed on our open mic. Safe to say that we were blown out of the water by Carina’s words and power.

We promise you won’t want to miss out on this one. Heart wrenching and soul moving, Carina has a way of capturing her audience that is simply indescribable.

Get your tickets here babes!
