Sporting genius is a notion that vexes. Rarely does a tennis tournament, or a football match, or an athletics meeting take place in which one or more of the performers is not flattered with this weighty accolade - be it on account of consistency and determination, a pleasingly emotional or luckless back story or a singularly sublime moment of skill that induces a stream of superlatives from commentators and journalists alike. We use the word ‘genius’ so flippantly and with such astonishing regularity that it can do nothing but cheapen its impact and muddy the waters of what we know to be true. Let it be said and let it remain: genius, in all disciplines, is rare.
Few numbers can match the star status of Pi. Mathematics’ most famous constant - familiar to most of us from high school geometry classes, features in some of the subject’s most celebrated formulae and occurs naturally all around us in the circular patterns of nature.

From memes to merchandise, competitive recitation to wordplay, Pi has transcended the field of mathematics to become an icon of modern geek culture. In fact, such is Pi’s popularity, it has even found its way on to the international calendar!

But what exactly is Origami? And how is it useful in the modern world?
From subtle foreign language fairytales to big screen blockbusters, historical landscapes to imagined futures, action adventure to heartwarming romance, movies transport us to new worlds from the comfort of an armchair, delivering an abundance of magical moments and an endless stream of characters with whom we can identify and champion. But more than that, the best movies provoke thought and inspire change, and the most memorable characters are those with hidden depths and unexpected qualities; those who, through their own transformation, force a change in our perception; those that surprise us.
