Welcome to Behind the Scenes… my name’s Chris Thompson and each week as we talk about the arts and culture across Melbourne, across Victoria and across the country, we acknowledge the Boonwurrung and Wurundjeri peoples of the Kulin Nation…  the traditional custodians of the land on which we make this show…  we pay our respects to their ancestors and elders past, present and emerging and remember that they are part of the longest continuing culture in the world.

First show of the month means a visit from Theatre Network Australia and this month we catch up with Josh Lowe who’ll also introduce the TNA member of the Month – Bina Bhattacharya from PYT Fairfield Theatre for young and emerging artists…

Then, Amanda Douge is an Australian actor and Theatre Maker who’s been living in the UK where she’s been investigating the intersection between theatre and the climate crisis…  and she’s brought part of that investigation – Rosa Luxemburg and I - back home for a one night showing and discussion at the Abbotsford Convent…

Ross Judd is a consultant in communication management, and he’s brought together many of the things he’s learned over the years into a book about – exactly what its title says – Listening…

And finally, it’s Screens&Streams time again with Marc Gracie and a whole bunch of new films…

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