A Woman’s Place is on the Stage
This second series recorded to acknowledge the depth of talent appearing at this year’s Brisbane Festival, celebrates women artists. Although we are beginning to see more and more women and non binary artists represented on stage today, we rarely hear about the journey that has led them there: what brought them to the performing arts, what is driving them, and how they are using the opportunity to communicate with audiences on the issues important to them.
