We start with a Vision Australia story this week, when we meet Chris Edwards who’ll introduce us to Dark Memory Lane, an exhibition and simulation experience at Federation Square’s Ian Potter Centre that invites visitors to use low vision simulation glasses to better understand the blind and low vision community.

 

Then, it’s a visit to Werribee Mansion where What Was That?, the spooky but informative story of the mansion’s resident Chirnside family after the death of Mary Chirnside in 1908 is about to have its 1000th performance and we’ll meet its writer Alaine Beek.

 

Dr Sally Chance (in Adelaide) and Dr Sarah Austin (in Melbourne) are both pioneers in the relatively new form of theatre for babies and we’ve got the two of them together to compare notes on this fascinating part of the performing arts…

 

And sticking with very young people (although, a bit older than babies) we’ll head down to Wonthaggi to catch up with Dr Andrea Lemon and Iris Gaillard to talk about the innovative and highly successful programme, Kids Thrive.

 

And finally, a bit of new music when we meet Composer and bassist Joseph Franklin ahead of the first performance of The Horror of the Avant Garde(s)…

 

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