Tracks at Luna - An Epic Journey across the Australian Desert

Details: Written by: Nita Teoh; Published: 21 February 2014

The movie "Tracks" will soon be showing at Luna Palace Cinemas in Leederville and Fremantle. Tracks is about one woman’s arduous journey through the dessert. The idea starts out as a dream, and the movie follows Robyn Davidson as she makes her dream into a reality.

She is faced with adversity right from the beginning – naysayers who don’t think that she can pull off her idea, not enough money to make her dream come true, and being female, young and at times naïve with dealing with the world.

Just Improvise has introduced two courses for everyone, namely Boost and Deuce. Boost is a course for young kids, whilst Deuce is running mainly for adults. Are you ready for some learning? Read on to learn more about these courses.

We all want to focus and create positive attitudes and somehow destroy the negative ones. Furthermore, we all have an inner critic. The voice that questions, "What if something goes wrong?" Going into the New Year, it's time to retrain your thinking and to make that inner voice work for you – not against you.

It's time for a BOOST!

Flood by Black Swan State Theatre Company

Details: Written by: Nita Teoh; Published: 21 January 2014

Black Swan State Theatre Company kicked off its season of plays for 2014 with the premier of Flood. The play is also being performed as part of the World Fringe Festival.

Flood was written by Chris Isaacs and is directed by Adam Mitchell, who also brought us The Mother Fucker with the Hat at the same time last year. The play is an initiative of the Black Swan Lab, which is a collaboration of emerging artists.

The mood of the play is light hearted to begin with – a group of 6 twenty-something close friends heading up north from Perth to have a much anticipated camping holiday over the Christmas season. The atmosphere is relaxed and carefree and as friends do, there is lots of laughter, joking and teasing back and forth.

As is the case when close friends who know each other well get together, you can enjoy yourselves without a lot of pretence and be able to drop your guard. Then a tragic accident occurs unexpectedly which stops the group in the middle of their tracks.
