Kylie Bracknell on Instagram: "Noongar Māori Vibes Both mothers. Both thespians. Both speak and honour their mother tongue. Both have directed a full Shakespeare work in their mother tongue. Both First Peoples of their respective homelands. Both represent their people in all they do. Only one can claim to be Moana’s Nanna (clearly not me!) What an absolute pleasure it was to spend some time with Ms Rachel House recently. She is a consummate professional and incredibly devoted to her craft. Go read her bio! Such an underrated singer too. But of all the worldly achievements this award-winning artist has notched up, I was absolutely star struck by the fact that Rachel directed the Māori production of Troilus and Cressida. Why? Because her directorial work played at the Globe to Globe festival in 2012, the very same festival in which we performed the Sonnets in Noongar. Kyle J Morrison, Trevor Ryan and I watched that production of Troilus and Cressida and I walked out of The Globe Theatre believing we could totally achieve a full Noongar version of Macbeth together. That evening 13 years ago in London was inspiring and affirming. And meeting Rachel felt full circle. It’s easy to show immense respect and gratitude to this smart sister from another mister and I’m glad I was able to share that with her in person. Thank you, ancestors! #heartfull #actorlife #workingmumlife #ammactor #kyliebracknell #gratitudeattitude #noongar #māori #firstpeoples #lifeexperience #theatre #shakespeare #theglobetheatre #memories #nostalgia #inspiration #theatreinspiration #grounded #culture #mothertongue #rachelhouse"

Moana 2 review: finding your way - Old Ain't Dead

Disney's Moana 2 takes the central character, Moana, on a journey to discover new lands and people to help her people connect and survive.

Old Ain't Dead

Moana 2 review: finding your way

Moana 2 tells an adventure story about finding new lands and new people. It's a little darker and scarier than the original Moana story. It was very good, although I didn't think the music was as good as in the first film. The songs about getting lost and taking chances didn't resonate quite as much as the songs from the first Moana. […]

💌 Love Notes

Hey there crew. It's been a while. I'm sorry this edition is so small after such a huge amount of time. Trying to keep them to 2-4 days, but we'll see how that goes with how behind I am.

It's been a lot lately. Home, work, the world, the fandom, just a lot's been happening all at once. I've been trying to focus on a few things that I've had to work on outside the fandom as well as taking some mental health breaks and that's been keeping me busy.

So tonight, for the love notes, I just wanted to take a second to say thank you. So many of you have been so kind to me and so many others over this past year + that I've been here. Even if I just get to see your name pop up on my notifications for a like or a reblog, or if we chat, or I just get to catch glimpses of your works across the various platforms, it brings me a lot of joy.

Some of you, I only really know through tags. Others I know from discord, or bsky, or instagram. Some of you I've never spoken to outside of tumblr - but I can honestly tell you, you have improved my life by being here.

Others of you, I consider you some of my closest friends. Friends I've never met, miles away around the world, and your influence on me is so incredibly profound - and even if we never meet each other in person, I will never be the same because of you.

I'm so very blessed and lucky to have found this place - to have found you all. I know a lot of you feel the same way about the people you interact with here on the day to day.

That being said, the world is a complicated place. Sometimes things don't go the way we planned, whether on a personal, fandom, or global level. Sometimes people disappoint us, and spaces we thought fit us shift in shape.

No matter what changes for you in this world, I want you to know that your kindness, and your interactions with me and everyone else have made a positive difference. Thousands and millions of tiny interactions continue to happen within our fandom every day.

Some of them don't go the way we hope they will - but the majority of them, are beautiful. Sometimes we have to learn from them, and they help us grow, and sometimes they nourish us in hard times.

We are a community of wonderfully kind people who were brought together by chance. Thank you for being here. Thank you for making my life better, and this world a better place.
