In collaboration with Darebin Arts and La Trobe University, Lakshmi was the technical producer for Darker, a series of podcasts performed and written by La Trobe University students and alumni for the Darebin FUSE 2023 Autumn festival.
Presented by Noel Maloney, Lakshmi Ganapathy, Fiona Mcleod and Paddy O'Reilly.
Darker is a selection of six fiction pieces written and performed by La Trobe University students and presented as podcasts. These diverse, provocative, engaging pieces each respond to the theme of ‘darker’: an artist in the grip of a spectre, family stories emerging from the shadows, a murky, winding conversation, solemn introspections on island life, a shadowy market that’s not for the faint-hearted, a chance encounter in the bleak winter.
All writers and performers are students or recent graduates from the Bachelor of Arts, La Trobe University.
