Lawley Alumni - Maja: Class of 2007
Mount Lawley SHS is proud to have an alumni body engaged in all aspects of society, and we are privileged to have many of them return to offer something to our current student body.
Maja Liwszyc, from the Class of 2007 visited our Year 11 Drama class today to speak about her work in local theatre.
She participated in one of the classes drama warm ups, and then spoke of her path from her involvement in SVAPA here at Mount Lawley through to her current opportunities as a professional actor.
The many questions dealt with issues from the creation of characters and the collaboration process in the production of original theatre, to personal motivation and how SVAPA and school had helped her in her career.
Maja also shared some of her school experiences, reminisced with staff and had a tour of the school, bumping into our Sea Explorer alumni mentors.
Many thanks for your time, Maja.
Maja is currently performing in the critically acclaimed Under the Sun production at the Blue Room with the Emergence Co.
"This beautiful work is essential viewing this season, and will likely be one of the top independent productions we'll see this year. It's a complete package, engaging all the senses, finding humour and a gentle emotional power that delves into part of the collective Australian psyche."
