Readers' Cafe - Meet Judith Lanigan

Judith Lanigan was the first Australian to study at the Moscow State Circus School and then created a hula hoop version of a ballet solo originally choreographed by Fokine for Anna Pavlova a hundred years ago. Her virtuoso performances with the hula hoop have taken her all over the world.

The award of an ASA mentorship led to the publication of The True History of the Hula Hoop in 2009. A clever story that weaves history and the present to create a riveting read. A portion of the story The Great Clown Kidnap of 1572 has been optioned by UK film company Firefly Films.

'Beautifully melancholic, a My Brilliant Career with hula hoops and spangles' 

Judith Lukin Amundsen.

Join us for the very first Readers' Cafe.

When: Thursday 11th February 12:30pm
Where: Ringwood Library, 4 Ringwood Street Mall, Ringwood
