The world is experiencing an unprecedented velocity of change. You text, rather than talk. You shop online, rather than in a store. You play games on screen rather than in a park, and Facebook and Twitter are how you talk to your friends.
I have been accepted into the Bachelor of Communication (Theatre/Media) at CSU Bathurst to commence in 2012. I am a film and theatre enthusiast who is keen to create my own works and collaborate on works with others in both forms of media. I believe my entry reflects not only my passion, creativity and skill in creative arts/media, but also reflects my excitement for the course I am to complete.
