The Witching Hour
The Witching Hour: six hours of talent with six revolutionary performers. In the oubliette of The Harrison, an historic pub a short walk from King’s Cross, an eclectic audience were entertained by writers and musicians each demonstrating their own spirited adaptions from the realm of the witch as both a symbolic figure and one of iconic personal presence.

An Evaluative Approach to 'Zutara'
Avatar the Last Airbender is a popular animated series co-created and produced by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko. Running from February 2005 to July 2008, the show gained a sizeable fan base, including teenagers and adults, despite being aired on the children’s network, Nickelodeon. It takes place in a world where people are divided into four nations, each aligning with one of the four major elements: earth, fire, water, and air. Certain individuals are born with an ability to control one of these elements, a talent referred to as “bending.” The “Avatar” is a reincarnated soul, able to control all four elements and tasked with the duty of maintaining peace. Avatar centers around a 100-year war between nations, with the Fire Nation being the main antagonist, and follows the current Avatar, Aang, as he struggles to master the elements. Two of the most important parts of the show are the depth of its characters and the relationships they formed. Viewers especially took interest in the romantic relationships in the series, sparking much debate about the “canon,” or official, couples. The most highly discussed debate is whether Katara, one of the main characters, should’ve ended up with Zuko, the fire nation prince, rather than Aang.

'Twin Peaks': Audrey Horne - Dance of the Dream Woman
In a series full of open-ended mysteries and narrative cul-de-sacs, maybe none was more contentious among Twin Peaks viewers than the story of Audrey Horne in The Return. Detached from the main cast, her scenes were full of confounding dialogue about characters we never saw, and she seemed in an emotional state that was hard for fans to swallow: angry, fragile, scared and possibly unstable. She never interacted with her on-screen family, including her son Richard, and there was no mention of John Justice Wheeler (YMMV on whether that's a good or bad thing), her love as of the end of Season 2. Most shocking was her final scene in Part 16, which seemed to cast serious doubt on the nature of her existence in new world of Twin Peaks.

Did Jerry Get His Mother Pregnant?
I want to be a filmmaker and I watched Cucumber and Banana on Channel 4 and was inspired by an episode starring two characters talking about a screwdriver being shoved in an inappropriate place.

'The Lion King' in London
A visit to London is not complete without an expensive coffee from an "on fleek" cafe and cheeky trip to the West End for a show. If you're anything like me, there is always a long list of shows you want to see, but when time and budget are limited, there are a few classics that you just refuse to miss. For me, one of those shows has beenThe Lion King.

Going to the Theatre Can Help Young People in Their Development in Life
Have you ever been to a play and walked away challenged? As an actor, we were told that when we are performing Shakespeare, we must make the audience listen. Words are powerful. They can penetrate to the core of our being. In life, we know how words can damage or how words can build us up. I remember playing the role of George in an award-winning play called Remembrance Day. It was a play about reconciliation and helping a teenager on his journey. I remember the reactions from the audience after the show. The play had a huge impact on their lives. Live performance is thrilling. It's an experience. It's a time where young people can lose themselves for a few hours in the world of the play.

Farewell, 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine'

The Genius of 'Hamilton'
History is that one subject that most of us roll our eyes at. After all, how does what happened to men who lived hundreds of thousands of years before us affect us in the modern world? Why do we have to learn about how kings built their courts and how people lived their life back then? I think the primary question most people ask when they are asked to learn history in school is the question of relevancy to their lives in the present, and I agree — there isn’t much. However, if presented in the right way, I believe that history can be one of the best teachers of character and a brilliant opportunity to look back on humanity and see where even the best of us made mistakes. But with the way courses are structured in school, this is sadly traded away for mindlessly memorising facts and regurgitating them in examinations without internalising any of the intricacies and stories behind the material that is being learnt. I, too, play my role in the system by learning and writing pages and pages in order to get the best possible marks, but after seeing Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton, I’m afraid I might have to change my outlook on the subject.
