We’re off to the Northern Territory this week to catch up with our Darwin correspondent, Sophia Hall who’ll give us all the goss from the Top End including the lowdown on what’s happening at Brown’s Mart…
…and what’s happening at Brown’s Mart is Jarradah Gooragullui – Dance of the Brolgas. A combination of dance, moving image and spoken word that tells both a creation story and a story of two lovers and we’ll find out more when Sophia introduces us to Associate Producer and Family Liaison, Carly Bancroft Mills.
After that we make a lateral move across the country to Far North Queensland where we catch up with Simon Storey, director of The Storey Players, a company made up of the appropriately named Storey family who tour the outback performing, running storytelling workshops and making short films with local young people. We’ll meet Simon and find out what it’s like to be both a family and a theatre company.
Meanwhile, back in Melbourne we find ourselves at the City Gallery with Curator and artist Kenny Pittock who walks and talks us through From Mundane to Friday, a fascinating exhibition of ephemera, found objects and shopping lists.
And finally. We’re at Arts House in North Melbourne to chat with Daniel Schlusser about his new work, Hercules that draws on pop culture, Euripides, the contemporary experience and, of course, the twelve labour of Hercules.
They’re all on this week’s edition of Behind the Scenes with Chris Thompson right here on Vision Australia Radio.
