Behind the Scenes 16th September 2024

Shane Carroll is a former dancer with Nederlands Dans Theatre and Sydney Dance Company. She has also been a dance teacher, lecturer for training programs, advisor for arts agencies and devotes much of her focus on programmes aimed at building capacity and inclusion in the art form that has been part of her life since a very early age. In August, she spoke with Behind the Scenes Presenter, Chris Thompson, about her current work with Bangarra Dance Theatre in Education and Accessibility and in particular about the company’s initiatives in Audio Described performances for audiences who are blind or have low vision. But there was more to talk about than could be covered on a regular episode of Behind the Scenes – including her recent Churchill Fellowship and her other work in the area of dance for people living with dementia. So, in this special Behind the Scenes Podcast, Chris catches up with Shane again after having his first experience of audio described performance with Bangarra Dance Theatre’s Horizon at Arts Centre Melbourne.
