We recently partnered with local footwear and apparel boutique Highs and Lows (HAL) for their 15th anniversary, and to celebrate we co-hosted Halelujah and HAL released limited edition sneakers with proceeds donated to Kadjin – the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Youth Arts Network.

Part 2 continues from Part 1 of emerging Noongar and Greek actor Cezera Critti-Schnaars's interview. Continuing from chatting about her experience with Hecate, Cezera and Yoshika chat about the importance of representing normalcy, how Indigenous actors are often asked to act “more Black” and how Kadjin helps young and emerging Indigenous artists.

Cezera Critti-Schnaars is a young Noongar and Greek actor whose passion for acting started when she was very young. Back in February this year at Perth Festival, she starred in Yirra Yaakin Theatre Company’s production of Hecate, a reimagining of Shakespeare’s Macbeth performed entirely in Noongar. In Part 1 of Cezera’s interview, we chatted to her about her high school days, playing Fleance in Hecate, Indigenous identity and the significance of Noongar language.

Brooke Woolcock (Collard) is a Whadjuk Ballardong woman of the Bibbulmin nation and a storyteller at heart. She tells stories through film as a writer/producer with a focus on telling stories of those underrepresented such as First Nations and LGBTQIA+. In the latest #YoungArtistsofWA interview, we chat to Brooke about her current projects, being a Member of Kadjin, what healing means to her and the change she hopes for in the WA arts community.
