Cooking up a Convo with Jaime Wilson

In Australia the concept of migration is part of our daily vocabulary. Jaime Wilson discusses the distinction between immigrant and universal art, drawing on his own vast experience as a migrant and theatre person. As historian Robert Harney pointed out, immigrant theatre, more than any other institution, served to "affirm the existence of ethnic community."

In support of Alisha’s Café Collective’s aim of creating happier people and Casa Cultura’s mission of nurturing a collaborative and connected community that embraces and celebrates diversity, we are partnering to offer a series of conversations with inspirational people that bring their knowledge and experience to contribute to our health, confidence, creativity and wellbeing. 

These events will be hosted over dinner, upstairs at Alisha’s, in a relaxed environment making them not at all a lecture, but more of a tableside conversation where questions, retorts and insights are more than welcome.

Tickets:
$30 (Dinner and convo)
$10 (Just convo)
