It's not unusual for people to ‘dress up’ when they go to the theatre, but this invitation to dress up from the new production, WereDingo by Karul Projects at Arts House in North Melbourne isn’t about getting into your glad rags…  it’s about strutting your best fur, fleece or feathers for a show about how the First Nations idea of shapeshifting differs from its interpretation in Western culture… and we’ll find out about that difference when we meet Artistic Director Thomas E S Kelly…

 

Meanwhile, at 45 Downstairs, another new production, this time from Antipodes Theatre who are presenting Rachel Lewindon and Willow Sizer’s electro-folk musical adaptation of Virginia Woolfe’s Orlando, a character who changes gender and lives for 300 years… we’ll drop by a rehearsal where we’ll catch up with Rachel as well as Director Margot Fenley and Dramaturg Maude Davey…

 

A year or so ago we met Daz Chandler from The Parallel Effect who spoke about Message from Another You, an amazing project that invites you to experience from parallel reality through a message that seemingly comes from you. Now, we’re welcoming Daz back to the show to find out about I’ve Been to a Parallel World - the panel she’s hosting at The Wheeler Centre where her guests will share experiences of their own travels to other worlds…

 

And finally, we’re out at The Count’s again – the fabulous live music venue at Monash Performing Arts Centres where there are still a couple of gigs to go before the end of the year…  one of which is Ziimusic’s The Experience, a creative blend of art and soul with a mission to inspire and heal and we’ll meet poet, rapper, bassist and keyboard player Zii Wacho

 

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