Second to None
by Jared Thomas
Jared Thomas tells us about the large-scale South Australian theatre piece, Second to None produced using theatre and tableaux, ceremony and dance, music and song, light and sound combined to evoke the ancient spirit of the land, the traditions and culture of the Kaurna people.

Our April issue of Lowdown is a bumper issue featuring and profiling Australian youth performing arts practice.
The magazine has a fresh new design and is being re-launched and celebrated during the ASSITEJ World Congress and Festival in Adelaide in May. Look out for it along with the Lowdown Guide: Youth Performing Arts in Australia, which is being produced collaboratively by Lowdown magazine and the Australia Council.
