Hi there! My name is Ashvin Nair and currently I am the public relations officer for Colosoul Group Inc. I'm still fairly new here as but I've have been spending the past 5 months helping to organise and promote some the events that we have hosted. It's also my final semester and Curtin University and majoring in public relations and marketing and I can't wait to graduate! I am writing this from our awesome new basement space and it's still...

Recently I have a great team who take charge of their responsibilities; I love it when I get a crew that takes initiative and are really passionate about what it is they want to do within the arts. These types of volunteers is what Colosoul is looking for and is about; the atmosphere around the place is a buzz. I have an amazing editor - Brooke, who works full time and comes in on Fridays to oversee our Colosoul team. What a champ! Brook knows how to listen, take advice and get the ball rolling. The unfortunate thing when volunteers leave...

Passion, Persistence and Pizza!

Hello there! I’m Claire Turner, the Art Editor! I’m a final year art student at Curtin University and a practicing visual artist/poet- http://claire-turnerart.com These past four months I think the moon and stars drastically rearranged themselves - I've been handed a number of career making opportunities and I feel elated with the art world right now, as opposed to contemplating the harsh and never ending injustices towards artists that...

Goodbye Colosoul.

The summer is in full swing with festivals and gigs coming out of our ears! The Lotterywest Film Festival is already flooding the eyes and minds of cinema enthusiasts with some gems of international film, as well as some gorgeous Australian works, including the world premiere of Shane McNiel’s latest film Girt By Sea.  I've already seen three films and am hoping to pack in a couple more. Of the films I’ve already seen, Ruben Alves’s  The Gilded Cage was absolutely gorgeous and shot straight into my top 5 films of the decade. Perth...

Why holidays and work don't mix.

I love holidays, I really do. I honestly - if my current financial situation or timetable permitted it - would go to a new city every month, but I can't because it's so hard to catch up on that missed work or study and this is what I'm dealing with right now. I love working at Colosoul, it's not just rewarding but fun as well but I'm just about to come home from being in Auckland for four weeks and I'm a bit nervous at the thought of facing all the things i've missed and all the catching up I'll have to do when I get back. That's the worst...

Getting there...

Last year ended in a bit of a mess for me, not really knowing if I was doing the job right or what pieces of the puzzle I was missing but the start of the new year has started off well for me as the Colosoul Photography Editor. I think I am getting the hang of what the position requires as more information comes my way and my organisational skills are forced take a change for the better.  The places and events I get to go to and the people I meet would not have happened if it had not been for Colosoul, so that is already a big tick...

Delights and Discoveries

Introduced via a mutual friend, I one day had a friendly chat over a cup of tea with the then Movie Editor of Colosoul. He encouraged me to get involved with the magazine so I, keen to work on my writing skills, signed up to write film reviews for the website. A few months later, the Movie Editor position opened up and I thought what a great way to explore the happenings of the local film scene and so...here I am. Cinema in Perth continues to grow and grow. Each summer a new outdoor cinema pops up,...
