Welcome to the eighth RISE Canberra Podcast!

In this episode Jen Seyderhelm is in conversation with the Tuggeranong and Belconnen Arts Centres. CEO Rauny Worm and photographer Martin Ollman talk about their current exhibition First Response which documents Canberra's initial response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Then Jen checks out the brand new theatre space at the Belconnen Arts Centre where she chats to Live Programs Officer Sammy Moynahan and circus performers and programmers Clare Pengryffyn and Bernard Bru about Léntreprise du Risque which runs from the 9th to 11th of September.

Produced by Events ACT, RISE Canberra is your new home for experiencing local events and to find new ways to connect audiences with experiences made in the ACT by local makers, creators, artists and businesses.
