It’s our week to start in Perth which is why Helen Simondson from Boola Bardip WA Museum is here…  and, of course, she’ll be introducing us to a local artist…  this month it’s Ella Hetherington who, together with Renée Newman is about to perform Catastrophes at the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts…

Then we’re back out at Monash Performing Arts Centres where we welcome Executive Director Paul Grabowsky back to the show to tell us about the importance of creative expression and ideas to connectivity in Progress Festival, MPAC’s latest offering…

After that, we find out about poet, speechwriter and, in this case, novelist Joel Deane’s new novel Judas Boys which has already gone into a second printing before we even had a chance to sit down and talk about it…

And finally, we’ll chat with Luke Captain, the Artistic Director of The Boite who are heading to Ballarat to present Maiem, their glorious, massed children’s choir performance of songs from the Torres Strait…

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