When we think of the ghetto, we think of a place that does not exist, made up because we never experience it. We are aware that it is very dangerous, but we never see it with our

Today was the first day of our applied theatre project for environmental education at David Fleay’s Wildlife Park. We started the day by getting into costumes and roaming around the park. Originally this was done in pairs, but seeing the amount of people that actually came to the park we decided that going as a group of all four of us would be the most beneficial, as we didn’t want to see the same people twice. As it was our first day we were all a bit nervous, but Afri and Georgia’s engagement with

dribbles down the nape of my neck. My hand trembles as I reach out to greet one of the world's most renowned film producers. How could Kevin Feige choose me of all people to play a lead in his next Marvel movie? I was absolutely enthralled.
