SHOPFRONT
Contemporary Arts for under-25s
A dragon is a mythical monster like a giant reptile. In European tradition the dragon is typically fire-breathing and tends to symbolize chaos.In the Eastern tradition the dragon is a most noble sign, associated with water and the heavens and a symbol of great luck. So it is with this twinned dragon we greet 2012! Kung Hei Fat Choy one and all!

Shopfront sends a HUGE congratulations to Shopfront’s wonderful workshop director from the past two Junior Ensemble’s, Luke Kerridge. Luke was accepted into the Director’s training at The Victorian College of the Arts this year and will undertake an intensive program of study in Melbourne. We will miss him, his keen skills in making theatre with young people and hope to work with Luke again in 2013.
