We’ll find out what’s on in the West this week when we catch up with our Perth Correspondent Helen Simonson, Manager at the WA Museum Boola Bardip. Helen will also introduce us to Walkley and AACTA Award winning film and theatre maker, Victoria Midwinter Pitt whose play I’m With Her is about to have a staged reading in Subiaco.

Then it’s time for some music when we’ll meet Nick Delaney who, along with Anita Quayle form the improvisational duo Beyond the Lake who’ve just released their first album, Coming Home.

After that, we get to chat with opera director Sally Blackwood who put her time in pandemic iso to good use by completing her doctoral thesis, (Re)claim the Frame: a rethinking of opera and operatic practice in Australia.

And then it’s more music. This time we’re in Japan to meet another music duo, Nature Airliner also known as singer songwriter Laurier Tiernan and singer-guitarist Eiko who’ll introduce us to their new album Cardinal.

They’re all on this week’s edition of Behind the Scenes with Chris Thompson right here on Vision Australia Radio.
