Behind the Scenes 12th February 2024

Last month, our Darwin correspondent Sophia Hall from Brown’s Mart promised to update us on the Darwin Festival in her July spot…  and not only is she doing that, but she’s also welcoming back Director and Choreographer Rosealee Pearson who spoke with us last year about the development of Song Spirals…  and now here she is talking about the production of that work…



Meanwhile, in other parts of the country, it’s time for the Scandinavian Film Festival again and the Icelandic Film Centre’s, Christof Wehmeieer is in town to tell us all about it…



And then, a special treat for the rest of the show when the Creative Producer for Special Projects at the Royal Botanic Gardens – Kara Ward – takes us on an extended walk & talk through the astounding sensory experience that is Lightscape…

Behind the Scenes 22nd July 2024

It's 55 years since the Apollo 11 Moon Landing, so it makes sense that Helen Simondson from Boola Bardip WA Museum is here to talk about their current To The Moon exhibition which not only features a scale replica of the moon, but an actual piece of the Moon itself…



Arts Access Victoria might not have been around for the Moon landing, but it got its start pretty soon after and Sabina Knox and Geof Robinson will walk & talk us through The Collective, their fiftieth birthday exhibition at the Meta Market…



If you were listening to the show at the start of June you might have heard a conversation with Efren Pamilacan, Artistic Director of the street dance orgnaistion Cypher Culture… well, now you can meet the Executive Director Geoffrey Lim as a follow up to that earlier story…



And finally, in April last year Gabrielle Leah New was here to talk about Reclaim the Crone a performance by a group of ‘dangerous older women’…  well, that show is back, and one of those ‘dangerous older women’ - Karen Berger – is here to give us an update on the new season at Theatre Works…



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



If you’d like to hear the conversation with Cypher Culture Artistic Director Efren Pamilacan it was on the June 3 edition of the show which you’ll find HERE
