Audience Responses

Look guys, I'm thinking about how the panel was set up to align with Matric drama setwork - and I recognise that this was the main pillar drawing everything together. But I couldn't help look at the screen and see four white people having a discussion, and know that most of the students watching are not seeing themselves represented in the panel and in the panelists' implied worldviews. Why not add another two black/PoC panelists that can add to the conversation and reflect on their experiences of the playtexts?? Or just add in whatever way them seen fit. We have to do better.
