It's our week to start in WA with our Perth Correspondent, Helen Simondson who’ll catch us up on the latest before introducing Jeremy Smith, Senior Producer at Performing Lines WA.

 

Then we’re off to Expanded Canvas, a group show at Hawthorn’s Town Hall Gallery and one of the artists, David Harley, will walk and talk us through the exhibition. (David’s art dealer is Charles Nordrum Gallery)

 

Here’s a question? What musical has an umbrella as a key part of its story? No, it’s not Mary Poppins, it’s Driftwood: The Musical and director Gary Abrahams is here to tell us about it.

 

And another question… were you at Ormond Hall for a disco called Opus in the late 60’s. Miks Everittwants to know because he’s trying to track down people who remember a lost psychedelic mural that his dad painted in the venue.

 

And finally, this coming Sunday will mark the 20th anniversary of the Independence of Timor Leste and we’ll hear from one of the leading voices of activism to come out of that time - the Dili Allstars and we’ll chat with founding member (and Painter & Dockers vocalist) Paulie Stewart.

 

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