Trailblazing director. Dr. Lindy Hume, AM, has made an indelible impact on the Australian arts scene with her opera direction, Festival leadership, and advocacy for the arts in regional communities. It’s difficult to believe that when she first arrived on the scene, she needed to apply for a grant for the privilege of observing another female director at work. Part of the reason female directors are no longer a novelty in the Australian cultural scene comes down to Lindy Hume and her fearless leadership. Lindy is joined in this episode by Anne Dunn, Executive director and co-CEO of the Sydney Theatre Company, for an inspirational chat about glass ceilings, balancing gender, the changing role of the artistic director, and the ways in which arts can work as a galvanising force in regional communities.
