Joshua 1:8-9 NKJV
This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

Back in January of this year, I was approached about doing a written interview for NSCC about how I became a student and began working in the Film & TV Industry. I appreciate those of you who take the time to read and maybe even share the interview.
Interview is below where you can also find other stories apart of the NSCC 2022 Community Report.

Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. I am thankful for the word of GOD, and I pray it continues to work within my mind and heart in all that I do.
Psalms gets an honorable mention at the end for usually being the first thing I read in the morning and being a motivator for my prayers.
Music of Liberation - In this extraordinary concert, Palestinian-Canadian pianist and composer John Kameel Farah embraces elements of Baroque and Near-Eastern music, improvisation and electronic music to create what he calls “Arabic-Baroque-Cyberpunk.” Surrounding the piano with synthesizers, he combines a vivid and playful imagination with virtuosic musicianship. Accompanied by projections of his intricate ink drawings, the performance sounds through the lens of Palestinian struggle, identity and heritage, drawing connections across histories and liberation movements.

Two dancers are locked in a liminal space of shared memories, imagined incidents, and the difficult things left unsaid. Together they set off on an athletic journey traversing the tangible and illogical as they learn to navigate change without letting go – because family is forever, right?

RAISING BIG QUESTIONS is an ongoing project by Andrew Maize, that uses a home-made, modular kite-letter to compose aerial text banners in the sky. Kite-flying is a joyful, analogue and collective activity – one that must be responsive to both the weather and site.
