It's Darwin’s week for the spotlight which means we welcome back Sophia Hall from Brown’s Mart and she’ll be introducing us to her local guest artist Melanie Mununggurr who, amongst other things, is guest Curator for the NT Writers Festival…



Then we’ll check out an opportunity for you to get up close and personal with some puppet making when Golden Scissor Puppets continue their workshop residency at the Motley Bauhaus and we’ll meet the person behind the puppets, Opal…



After that, with only a fortnight to go before NAIDOC Week, it’s seems like a good time to visit the Koorie Heritage Trust where Gemma Jones who’s in charge of Public Programmes will let us know how many free events and activities they’ll be running over the week…



And finally, if you were a fan of the 60’s UK rock and roll sensations The Animals whose hits like The House of the Rising Sun, We Gotta Get Outta This Place and many more put them on the world stage after only releasing two singles… them you’ll want to know about The Animals Final Encore Tour playing venues all over the country and we get to have a chat with founding member and drummer John Steel…

Behind the Scenes 24th June 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
