Performing in present tense: Perfume Genius and Totally Mild by Jini Maxwell

Last year Melbourne Recital Centre launched its inaugural Writer-in-Residence program, welcoming Australian author and journalist Chloe Hooper who shared her thoughts and responses to a range of events at the Centre.

In 2018, we've partnered with the Emerging Writers Festival and over course of the year will bring you pieces from three diverse female writers on the rise who are already making their mark on Australia’s literary landscape.

For her first Melbourne Recital Centre piece, Melbourne writer Jini Maxwell presents an interactive online journey, reflecting on American musician Perfume Genius' concert in Elisabeth Murdoch Hall.
