Imagining the future right now - a podcast by RRR - Triple R

Richard chats with Gideon Obarzanek and Hannah Fox, the co-artistic directors of RISING, a new festival taking the place of Melbourne Festival and White Night. RISING has put a call-out for new works from Victorian artists  with the aim to showcase pieces that are bold, outside of the box and very Melbourne.

Richard also speaks with Senator Sarah Hanson-Young about the Green's push for a generous new arts package. For Hanson-Young it's about what kind of society we want to build with the stimulus that will necessarily take place after COVID. She shares the adage that "it's the squeaky wheel that gets the grease".

Finally Richard chats with Tahli Corin who is one of the co-creators of Mountain Goat Mountain. Corin says that part of their inspiration for the work was reading that theatre was not just a place for people to enjoy productions, but to connect. As such they have created an online, interactive theatre experience designed for the whole family to enjoy together.
