    Hi, Genevieve here, Great to participate in #PlayParramatta workshop yesterday - I am filled with inspiration about how to bring the playful depths of Deaf Culture out into community - activating spaces, building cultural bridges, and helping create public spaces which 'help us smile among the everyday'.
    I am imagining a Deaf Lane at Parramatta Laneway Festival!
    I am imagining cafes where baristas sign - such as St Drogo's.
    I am imagining the many Auslan students from throughout Sydney spilling into Parramatta public spaces.
    I am imagining Parramatta actually knowing about the fabulous Deaf Festival which happens every October, and all of community appreciating how it activates space.
    The following resonates:
    "Play, for when you do blood circulates and energy is released into the space, touching and connecting you with everything in that space" - Viola Spolin
    "Play with others - fellow players, colleagfues, family and friends, and whenever you go forth, bring the focus of play along with you!" - Viola Spolin

    Thanks, Genevieve. It was great to have you along and to find out all that great information about Deaf Culture in Parramatta. We'll certainly be keeping that in mind as we progress with the research.

Workshop 2 - Exploring the CBD with our personas.  In this session we took our personas for a walk around the CBD to identify and document the spots encounters could be trick for them around the CBD, and others where there could be playful opportunities for our different personas.
