Check out what 2011 JUMP mentee Jordana Maisie is up to! If interactive artworks and wireless text messaging technology is your bag, join one of her 2 workshops at PACT this week…..

You are invited to join Jordana & Ashley at PACT between 5 - 8pm on Thursday 9 June or between 12 - 3pm on Saturday 11 June to talk about your ultimate alien experience.
“Seriously, if you had the chance, what would you talk to an alien about? How would its presence best be revealed to you?” - Jordana Maisie

Saturday 11 June, 12pm - 3pm
LOCATION

Since my return to Sydney I have been busy researching and planning the show that I will start to develop with a group of actors in June. The following is a list of questions that fall within the overarching planning statement ‘humanity deserves its achievements.’
