CHAMPIONS
The Champions are a group of young artists strongly connected to Corrugated Iron. They play an important role in the organisation, facilitating projects and programs, hosting events, and contributing to the long-term vision for the organisation.

Jarrah Steinberg
Jarrah has been an avid Corrugated Iron enthusiast since he was seven. He was a part of many upon many productions, including, but not limited too, Risky Business, Lucid Encounters, two years of Unbroken Land, and Lord Of The Flies. He spends his free time wondering whether or not he should do anything with the free time he has. Corrugated Iron gave him so many experiences, and friends in the community.

Koko has been part of the Drama Program at Corrugated Iron for many years and was one of the original members of the Play Building Ensemble which toured Technology For Oldies to Sydney in 2011.
