We are so excited to be back for the TUSA Food Education Project in Semester 2. Get Nourished with Food Hub is part of our 3-year TUSA Food Resilience Program, offering transformative solutions to students who are experiencing the effects of the relentless rise in living costs! We have designed this program to empower students with essential knowledge and practical skills in nutrition, cooking, gardening, food preservation, and sustainable practices! 

This semester we are partnering with The Source (behind the TUSA building) to bring you 3 gardening workshops, so you can learn to grow your own food at home!

In session 2, learn about applied plant science – providing useful information for choosing, raising, planting and supporting plants (keeping alive) over time. This will include raising methods, companion planting, and pest management. We will plant seedlings in the beds that we prepared in the first workshop

Join Alison Stanton-Cook for a 2 hour workshop tailored for creatives in music, theatre, and the arts. This session covers essential consent-based intimacy practices for staging intimate scenes in plays and musicals. You’ll learn how to:

• Choreograph and structure intimate moments
• Respect boundaries to enhance creativity
• Use placeholders and de-loading techniques
• Implement professional practices on set and in theatre

Empower your artistry with tools to ensure a safe and respectful environment in every performance. Ideal for students and aspiring creatives working in the arts.

As a society we are moving towards more supportive, safe and accessible practices in the arts. Telling stories often involves physical and emotional connections between performers and/or engaging with complex or sensitive topics. The role of an Intimacy Coordinator can provide tools, processes and language to support the creative process and these can extend through all aspects of media, film, theatre and journalism. This workshop will offer information about the best practices in the arts when it comes to consent, disclosure, communication, self care and respecting boundaries.

If haven’t heard, Chris has happily announced the addition of a new member to his family, her name is Moonboard

Feeling like your climbing is lacking power? Need a bit of oomph in those crux moves? Then come and destroy your fingers and ego on the newest climbing addition in greater Hobart.

1pm to 5pm we will be having a BBQ and backyard bouldering session on Chris’ Moonboard. BYO meat/vegies/TVP creations and drinks.

Take note: the Moonbaord is a ferocious beast and not overly friendly to those climbing below V3 (about 22 in the gym). There are no jugs of ‘good’ holds. So this event is best suited to intermediate and  advanced climbers. But all are welcome.

There are three golden rules for this event as we are at a private residence:

1. please clean your shoes before ‘pulling on’ to the holds to keep them clean

2 strictly TUMC members only

3 please park on the street
