The reflection of Actor, Tibian Wyles captured in a window of a building at Fort Scratchley, Newcastle. I met Tibian today while on an assignment. He is one of the original cast members since 2013 from Black Diggers, a theatre production travelling around Australia which has just rolled into Newcastle at the Civic Theatre this week and is about Indigenous males who enlist in the Australian army bound for Europe when World War I broke out in 1914, banned by their own government from serving in the military, Aboriginal men had to hide their heritage to enlist. Tibian, 21yrs discovered his love of performing in front of a live audience while studying and hasn’t looked back as he and other cast members from Black Diggers tread the boards of the Civic Theatre later this week.
