Here we are with the first show for September, so it’s no surprise that we’re starting the show with our regular Theatre Network Australia spot. This month. We meet a new member of the TNA team, Communications Coordinator Wen-Juen who’ll update us on TNA’s latest before introducing us to the TNA Member of the Month – Melbourne Fringe’s Access Advisor, writer, speaker and appearance activist, Carly Findlay.
Then a little bit of music wouldn’t go astray, especially when it’s the beautiful voice of Lillian Albazi who’s just released her debut jazz album. We’ll find out where you might be able to catch her performing After Image in those places that aren’t still in lockdown.
One thing that lockdown does encourage is creative experimentation in the ways performance can be developed and presented in both the real and the virtual worlds. One such project is Memory Go Round which has been investigating the way memories can become stories presented in an immersive, sensory environment. Artistic Director of the project Zya Kane is here to explain how this project is engaging with both disabled and non-disabled artists.
And finally, if ever there was a time to ask RUOK, this seems to be it and with RUOK Day coming up later in the week, what better time to welcome RUOK Day Ambassador and singer-songwriter Aislinn Sharp back to the show. Plus. We’ll get to hear a bit of her most recent recording, Phone.
They’re all on tonight’s edition of Behind the Scenes with me Chris Thompson right here on Vision Australia Radio.
