Rubbo is presently launching an educational product which stems from his love of storytelling; both his fiction and documentary work being rich in story. Spin me stories is a hand held device which by whirring a number of wands in front of young players, invites players to grab one, and prompted by an image at the end of the wand, begin to tell an improvised story. Another spin and the story changes direction depending on the image captured by the next player. Rubbo hopes to manufacture Spin me Stories ethically. It will be made in Australia. It will employ refugees and Aboriginal workers who will become shareholders in the company and use the spinners they make to improve their language skills

Famous quotes containing the words spin and/or stories:
“Words can have no single fixed meaning. Like wayward electrons, they can spin away from their initial orbit and enter a wider magnetic field. No one owns them or has a proprietary right to dictate how they will be used.”
—David Lehman (b. 1948)
“Writing ought either to be the manufacture of stories for which there is a market demand—a business as safe and commendable as making soap or breakfast foods—or it should be an art, which is always a search for something for which there is no market demand, something new and untried, where the values are intrinsic and have nothing to do with standardized values.”
—Willa Cather (1876–1947)
