Reflection :: 12 Moments of 2009 :: by Shakthi
2009 was a crazy, crazy year. Seriously. So much happened I’d happily retire right now with a lifetime full of memories. In an effort to process the year and, more importantly, share some of the amazing highlights, here are 12 moments from 2009 that stayed with me.

Reflection :: The Migrant Project :: by Shakthi
The Migrant Project was a snowball that at its peak, spun out of control.

Tutorial :: Working with Sri Lankan refugees :: by Shakthi
I spent four days in early 2009 in Chennai, in the South of India – training the staff at OfERR to set up their own, free Wordpress website and develop ongoing digital media content related to their mission. Best of all (this is a first for us), the website is not in English – it’s [...]
Gallery :: ‘The Waiting’ Album Launch at CuriousWorks HQ :: by Shakthi
The photos are just so lovely we had to share them.
Tutorial :: Aimee’s Three Favourite Theatre Games
I am very lucky. I get to run the theatre components of CuriousWorks’ AllAroundYou program. I wish everyone got the chance to play as much as me. It is something very natural in us that is so often squashed or sadly forgot… So – I would like to share the game!
