It’s the first show for July AND it’s NAIDOC Week so Wen Juenn Lee is here from Theatre Network Australia to tell us what’s happening with their ViPI programme AND to introduce us to the TNA member of the Month, First Nations writer and artist and producer and ViPI participant, Monique Grbec.
Then we’ll welcome Kate Sulan back to the show. After 22 years as Artistic Director of Rawcus Theatre, Kate is stepping down but not before she directs one last show. We’ll celebrate Kate’s legacy and Rawcus Theatre’s beautiful new production of Here We Are Amongst You.
After that, we’re off to the Shrine of Remembrance where Curator Katrina Nicolson will walk and talk us through For Kin and Country, the Shrine’s tribute to the service of First Peoples in the defence forces over more than a hundred years.
And finally, Xavier Rudd is on tour again but his support band is Marlon x Rulla one of the fastest rising First Nations duos in the country, and we’ll meet one half of that duo, Marlon Motlop and listen to a bit of their hit, Black Swan.
They’re all on this week’s edition of Behind the Scenes with Chris Thompson right here on Vision Australia Radio.
