THEATRE Grubs & Social Night – Thursdays with the Burrow Network!

Theatre workshop is back on again after last fortnight’s hosting at the Jagera Arts Centre Hall. It will be there again, at 121 Cordelia St, South Brisbane.

We would love to see you all there again – we are giving a bit more notice this time, so hopefully numbers will be better for this week 🙂

Come along if you are keen to develop some new skills through some fun activities like role plays, theatre exercises and maybe even a monologue recital. Lafe and Anita will be running this workshop and we are keen to get some scripts out to all of y’all with the view to put on a production in a few months time. We feel that some important social/philosophical/political messages can be delivered to our Brisbane community through a theatre production, so let’s see if we can get this happening and make a difference through art! Yeah! 😀

So get on down for Theatre Grubs at Jagera Arts next week at 6:30pm, we’d love to see you there!!

~ FUTURE THINKERS SESSIONS ~ Contemplations of a Resource-Based Economy (RBE)

Future Thinkers Sessions for the Zeitgeist Movement Australia

SCIENCE – TECHNOLOGY – NATURE – SUSTAINABILITY

This month will run a little differently, as instead of having a special guest, we’ll have interesting, insightful videos about the Zeitgeist Movement’s vision, a Natural-Law Resource Based Economy, and a lot of opportunity for guided discussion lead by Casey, as well as break-out group discussions.

The idea is to finish with well-thought-out break-out groups to create direction and potential projects for the future. This could include podcasts, short films, creating a socially-aware board game, street activism, connecting and working with other local groups, learning more about particular topics, planning additional events… or working on Z-DAY 2017.

Please feel free to bring along an interesting book or DVD you’d like to donate/share with the group, or a list of suggested titles for viewing/reading. 🙂

Future Thinkers is an open platform to meet and chat with other ‘self-proclaimed’ controversial deep thinkers, scientists and philosophers… basically anyone who likes to think about anything. This is a realistic, fun and empowering meet-up about applying science to social concern. Don’t worry, we don’t put you on the spot… there’s no expectation to explain your position, and no expectation of any qualification. It’s not in our ‘cynical yet idealistic, atheist, technocratic anarchistic activist’ nature. 😉 😛

Please feel free to sit at the back and hide in the corner, or announce your opinion of some particular policy, or share your understanding of a scientific discovery or discuss your general thoughts on a particular topic. 😀 😉 We’d love that. We look forward to meeting you!

~ FUTURE THINKERS SESSIONS ~ Biodiversity in the anthropocene

SCIENCE – TECHNOLOGY – NATURE – SUSTAINABILITY

An open platform to meet and chat with other ‘self-proclaimed’ controversial deep thinkers, scientists and philosophers… basically anyone who likes to think about anything. This is a realistic, fun and empowering meet-up about applying science to social concern.

This month we are fortunate enough to have Andres Pazimo presenting. Andres is a conservation expert from Equador, a country with one of the most diverse landscapes, which encompasses the Amazon jungle, Andean highlands and the wildlife-rich Galápagos Islands. He’ll be sharing about the importance of biodiversity, the problems with the current systems of protected areas, a socio-ecological approach to conservation and the importance of functional human-nature integration.

As part of the Future Thinkers Sessions each month, we also provide…

• Study groups and panel discussions on philosophical questions like “How do we engage people resistant to logic and reason?” or “Does wealth provide happiness?”

• Awesome socially-aware music, podcasts and radio shows

• Insightful and hilarious pointed videos for social concern

Please feel free to sit at the back and hide in the corner, or announce your opinion of some particular policy, or share your understanding of a scientific discovery or discuss your general thoughts on a particular topic. 😀 😉 We’d love that.

We look forward to meeting you!
