About Lunch Orders
While you’re nourishing your body, let us feed your mind. In Term 2, Lunch Orders is delivering a discourse on bodies. How do they work? How can we learn to feel good about them? How can we make space in society for all bodies?
Each serving will open with a 10-minute soapbox from an expert. They will then be joined by The Wheeler Centre’s Youth Programming Manager, Bec Kavanagh, for a Q&A that enriches and expands on their ideas.
Lunch Orders will have you back into the schoolyard with time to spare, and a few extra facts to pack in your lunchbox too.
Featuring
Betty Grumble is an access point of the spirituality of a woman (Emma Maye Gibson) burst forth across shared flesh riots and story. A site for catharsis and pleasure, a critter, a friend, a wish. Dedicated to poetry, presence and possibility. Thank You Body.
