It's December already and as has become a bit of a tradition over the past couple of years, the Theatre Network Australia Member of the Month is none other than… Theatre Network Australia itself… which is why we’ll be dropping into the TNA Office to have an end of year wrap up with TNA Executive Director Nicole Beyer…
And with the end of the year so near, it’s probably not too early to be talking about things happening at the start of 2023… Pop Choir at the Bar is an impromptu choir that learns and sings a pop song that was a hit anytime from the sixties until now… and with the help of Sharon Stokes and Daryl John Moulton, you can be part of that choir and have your hit recorded on a video for posterity…. Don’t think you sing? Well Sharon’s here to convince you otherwise…
A few weeks ago, we had a look at some of the films in the Melbourne Queer Film Festival but one film we didn’t talk about was The Dream Life of Georgie Stone, a short documentary about how Georgie Stone’s transgender journey not only changed her own life, but helped change the lives of many other young transgender teens… it won the festival’s Best Short Doco award so it seems like a good time to meet the film’s director, Maya Newell…
And finally, due to unforeseen circumstances, we didn’t get the chance to have a final chat with our Adelaide correspondent Geoff Cobham for the year… but that doesn’t mean we miss out on an Adelaide story… Glyn Lehmann and Shaun McNicholas are known as The Caretakers and for twelve months they collaborated on an album in an unusual way… one would start a piece and the other would complete it… we’ll meet Glyn and Shaun and hear a bit of the result of their project… Six Rooms.
They’re all on this week’s edition of Behind the Scenes with Chris Thompson right here on Vision Australia Radio.
