Behind the Scenes 2nd May 2022

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…



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

Behind the Scenes 15th April 2024

Elena Vereker is here because it’s our week to catch up on all things Adelaide including, of course, her guest local artist and this month it’s multi-award-winning playwright Finegan Kruckemeyer who seems to also now be a novelist…



Then we drop in on Odalala… a rather beautiful exhibition that has taken over Arts House in North Melbourne where a diverse collection of artists explore histories of caste, identity, migration and culture… and Odalala’s Curator Vishal Kumaraswamy walks and talks us through the spaces…



After that, we’re back with the Melbourne International Comedy Festival…  first up it’s the mad scientist from Perth Magnus Danger Magnus whose show Kaboom! mixes explosives with comedy in a room full of kids…  what could possibly go wrong?



And finally, look who’s back… it’s the Blind Bard Beneath the Pink Beret…  filmmaker and serial slam poet Jeremy Moses who’s here to tell us how many poems he’s slamming into his comedy festival show this year….



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





But wait, there’s more!!!

If you’d like to hear the complete Odalala walk & talk conversation with Vishal Kumaraswamy you can find it here…
