Our first Darwin round-up for the year is also a chance to meet our new Darwin Correspondents. Yes, that’s right – not one but two correspondents who’ll be sharing the role (which makes sense considering they’re sharing the CEO role at Brown’s Mart!)…  so, say hello to Yvette Walker, new CEO and Artistic Director… and Liz Rogers, new CEO and General Manager…

Then we’re off to the Pacific Islands to talk about two works coming soon to AsiaTOPA… our first stop is New Zealand/Aotearoa where we’ll meet FAFSWAG’s Tanu Gago, Producer of Sauniga… and then we’re off to Java to meet Melati Suryodarmo, creator of Lapse…

Meanwhile, in regional Victoria and regional South Australia, three leading youth theatre companies – Arena Theatre, D’Faces of Youth and Riverland Youth Theatre - have joined forces for a unique production of HG Wells War of the Worlds, and Arena’s Artistic Director Christian Leavesley is here to tell us how that partnership works…

And finally, Morning Melodies at Arts Centre Melbourne is turning 40 and we’ll chat with one of the performers in this year’s programme, singer and storyteller Darren Coggan…

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