Cooking up a Convo with Jaime Wilson – Immigrant Theatre
In Australia the concept of migration is part of our daily vocabulary. Jaime Wilson discusses the distinction between immigrant and universal art, drawing on his own vast experience as a migrant and theatre person. As historian Robert Harney pointed out, immigrant theatre, more than any other institution, served to “affirm the existence of ethnic community.”

About Jaime

In Australia he has directed several plays and theatre groups, and teaches Drama in High Schools. Jaime has travelled extensively throughout South America researching how theatre is produced in different communities and geographies. In Melbourne he formed “The Bridge, Teatro Latino”, a theatre company whose aims are to produce theatre that represents the view and the spirit of the Latin American people.

In support Alisha’s Café Collective‘s aim of creating happier people and Casa Cultura’s mission of nurturing a collaborative and connected community that embraces and celebrates diversity, we are partnering to offer a series of conversations with inspirational people that bring their knowledge and experience to contribute to our health, confidence, creativity and wellbeing.
 
These events will be hosted over dinner, upstairs at Alisha’s, in a relaxed environment making them not at all a lecture, but more of a table-side conversation where questions, retorts and insights are more than welcome.
