Now that we’ve booted 2020 to the curb and welcomed 2021 with a warm hug and a healthy dose of hope, its time to look to the future with some cautious optimism. So its no surprise that in this months issue you’ll find a raft of activities in February to help you shake off those shackles.
The inaugural New Annual Festival will provide Newcastle’s emerging artists with the opportunity to play in our local venues while the city comes alive. And as if that’s not enough to fill your social calendar, The Very Popular Theatre Company returns to Newcastle’s Civic Theatre this month with their epic production of CHESS: The Musical.
If optimism is your mantra for 2021, our interview with local businesswoman Denise Duffield-Thomas is a must-read (see page 10). Denise believes that if you can change your thoughts about yourself, you’ll make microchanges in your daily habits and behaviours that will compound over time and eventually become your everyday reality. Enjoy!
