MC Nannarchy

There is one particular character who has a habit of ambushing my performances when I least expect it. She insists on an introduction. Meet Nanna (aka MC Nannarchy), the aspiring eco-warrior, hippie and rapper.

Nanna won the 2011 Woodford Folk Festival Poet’s Breakfast ‘Poet of the Week’ and was back at Woodford in 2012 causing as much on-stage havoc as possible. She was prised out of her soujourn with the hippies in the forests of the Sunshire Coast hinterland to compete in the 2013 Nimbin Performance Poetry World Cup. Most years she makes way to the Wallaby Creek Folk Festival and is sometimes seen hobbling toward Yungaburra for the Tablelands Folk Festival.

In 2020 MC Nannarchy was invited to perform her Plastic Wrap at the Biennale of Sydney. Instead, stuck in pandemic lockdown, she videoed herself and made a virtual appearance.
