MADELEINE Q. My favourite food would definitely have to be tuna poke: it’ s too good to pass up. If you have the chance, you should try it! As far as music goes, I love to spice up my afternoons with a little ABBA or The Beatles. Some of my other favourite musical artists include The Neighbourhood, Lovejoy, Queen, The 1975, and Duran Duran: a really random mix of angst, upbeat, and 60s/70s/80s classic. I’ ve been performing since I can remember: this makes my 13th year as a dancer, having tried pretty much every style under the sun: jazz, ballet, modern, lyrical, and even Russian-Ukranian character dance! That’ s my main hustle as an artist - but I also play a little piano, write poetry and short stories, and dabble in the visual arts.

HANNAH C. My favourite dish is steamed egg with minced pork with plain rice or congee. Definitely a comfort dish of mine that I will never get tired of. Right now, some of my favourite music artists are Mitski, Gorillaz, Molchat Doma & Tatsuro Yamashita. My dream vacation would be a trip to Hokkaido or Osaka in Japan with my friends anytime after graduation. My art medium of choice is photography and my favourite things to take photos of are people and new places I visit. I also do like sketching and doodling every now and then as well as visiting art galleries/museums whenever the opportunity passes by!

NOELLE Q. My favourite food would probably be those lemon-y potatoes in Greek food, or basically any sushi roll. I like listening to music by artists such as Lemon Demon, Sarah and the Sundays and YOASOBI. I definitely prefer upbeat songs to sad ones. Some of my favourite songs would have to be Cabinet Man by Lemon Demon, I’ m So Bored by Sarah and the Sundays, and Computer Love Song by Carter Vail. My favourite art-related thing I do is writing. I used to do a lot of it when I was younger, but I kind of ran out of ideas and stopped for a long while. I still don ’t have much inspiration but I think it would be cool to get back into writing.
