Behind the Scenes 1st June 2020

Tom Guttridge is Senior Producer at Monash performing Arts Centres, so he’s bound to know what’s happening in their programme over the next month or two…



Then, even though Screens & Streams isn’t until next week, it’s hard to turn up the opportunity to chat with film writer turned screenwriter Nick Pinkerton about The Sweet East - his first crack at a feature film…



Meanwhile, Director Kevin Hopkins has been working with poet and playwright Emilie Collier on a new production of her play Once Were Pirates which will be heading off to Prague after a short season in Melbourne…



After that we’re back at Arts House in North Melbourne for The Bridal Lament 哭嫁歌 a genre bending art pop song cycle that reimagines an obsolete ritual of grief… if you’re wondering what that all means, then it’s a good thing that creator Rainbow Chan 陳雋然 is here to explain…



And finally, we say welcome back to Nilgun Guven who’s not quite here to talk about her work as an audio describer of live theatre…  instead, she’ll tell us about a series of workshop she’s running at Arts Centre Melbourne under the heading of Disrupting Sighted Ableism: Call to Action…



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

Behind the Scenes 29th April 2024

It's our week to start in Darwin but Sophia Hall is on leave…  never fear, though… Brown’s Mart Associate Artist James Mangohig is deputising and will let us know what’s happening Live on Fridays…



Then I swing by the Abbotsford Convent which is about to celebrate its 20th birthday…  so, it makes sense to catch up with the founding CEO Maggie Maguire and the present day COO John Di Natale…



Meanwhile, in Northcote, we say hi to Rebecca Lister who’ll tell us about On The Couch with Beck Lister, her part-chat show, part-therapy session at Wesley Anne..



After that, Darebin Arts Speakeasy is about to present a new work by The People…  but Peacemongers is more than just a show… it’s also a sit down dinner and Co-Creator and Director Katrina Cornwall will tell us how that works…



And finally, it’ll be ANZAC Day later this week and ASU Productions is presenting their new play Gallipoli: A Story Untold written and directed by Mohammed Hashem… but to find out about it we need to catch up with Mohammed who’s in Egypt…

Third show of the month means we’re saying welcome back to Helen Simondson from WA Museum Boola Bardip and after her Perth round up we’ll also say hi to Shakara Walley who’s written the new Yirra Yaakin show, Songbird.



Then, it’s still Melbourne International Comedy Festival time so let’s put our sleuthing caps on as we try and help Lliam Amor solve an improvised murder in Murder Village.



After that, it’s all music – first up it’s Craig Reardon who’s booking the artists who are bring music back to the Prince Alfred Hotel in Port Melbourne every Friday and Saturday night…



…and then it’s ‘friend of the show’ Adam Simmons who’s here to tell us about the latest issue of the national jazz journal Dingo, and what they’ve got lined up for International Jazz Day…
