ARTS WEDNESDAY 11 APRIL 2012

At about 10:40 am, we’ll hear Part 2 of our new series of Sydney By Design, subtitled Two Eds Are Better Than One, because it features our regular Ed Lippmann and guest Prof Ed Blakely, who is an urban planner. In this series we look at major infrastructure projects in cities around the world and this week we head to Los Angeles and the light rail system.

At 11 am I will be playing you an interview with New York choreographer Miguel Gutierrez who is in Sydney on a collaborative project with award-winning Sydney dance trio the Fondue Set. Miguel is a controversial artist whose inspiration often comes from political events, including one famous work, drawn from America’s involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan. As you can imagine, I am looking forward to our conversation.

You may have guessed it, but music this week comes from the world of dance.

Hope you can keep me company!
