Creative Types with Virginia Trioli on ABC returns in April – Virginia Trioli is back with a brand-new season of CREATIVE TYPES with Virginia Trioli, premiering Tuesday 1 April at 8.30pm on ABC TV, with all episodes available to stream on ABC iview.
Travelling the country, Virginia has been invited into the very heart of the creative process of some of our most distinctive and prolific artists and performers.
Over six half hour episodes, Virginia meets visionary director, George Miller and learns how his creative process has established him as the most revered action movie director of modern times. Singer Kate Ceberano reveals the many forms that her artistry now takes. Musician Richard Tognetti takes Virginia behind the scenes to reveal his restless spirit of collaboration.
Performer Tim Minchin tells Virginia that his life of being just the funny guy is over – he’s looking for something deeper. Visual artist Tony Albert reveals the pain behind his brilliant and provocative works that connect all of us to a troubled time in Australia’s history.
And in what she says will be her last interview, Jenny Kee, takes Virginia deep into her important archive and reveals why she is divesting and preparing for the end of her life.
Virginia Trioli says,
“I never tire of being allowed access to the inner sanctum of these wonderful Australian artists. Their generosity and vulnerability with me are a privilege and something I am so happy to share with ABC audiences. No matter the obstacles – personal, professional – these artists are continually driven to make: they can’t live without their creativity and I know how inspiring that is for all of us to witness.”
Kath Earle, ABC Head Arts, Music and Events, says,
“Virginia shines a light on creativity and these incredible artists who have brought art into the daily lives of so many Australians. We can’t wait for audiences to enjoy and be inspired by their stories.”
