Ep 57 – Melbourne Now (NGV Ian Potter), Small Metal Objects

, , , ,

A joyous episode this month traversing the best that Melbourne and Geelong has to offer with the epic Melbourne Now, a wide ranging art survey of all things Melbourne and Back to Back theatre’s Small Metal Objects thrillingly stage in Geelong’s Market Square mall. In Intermission we discuss reading (also listening) and our seasonal self care (spoiler one of us is now exclusively a cold shower devotee, can you guess). In Coming Soon we recommend more Rising morsels and Sydney Dance Company’s ab [intra] at Geelong Arts Centre. Hoping this episode finds you engaged and present in this rebooting time. Love Carla and Philip.
