Difficult Conversations with Jane Hutcheon
- This event has passed.
Australia’s pre-eminent thinkers go head-to-head with celebrated journalist Jane Hutcheon to draw out the difficult conversations of our day.
Join us for an evening with two parts:
Part 1: Jane brings her unique approach to get to know each panellist, exploring the art of conversation and difficult topics from each of their perspectives.
Part 2: You, the audience submit your difficult questions to be wrestled with by the panel, like a collective advice columnist, under the guiding hand of Jane as conversation ringmaster.
BYO Difficult Conversations: Everything is on the table.
Jane Hutcheon is a writer/performer and the author of Rebel Talk, the Art of Powerful Conversations. A former foreign correspondent and TV presenter, she created the ABC’s acclaimed TV interview show One Plus One where she interviewed 500 amazing people over a decade. In 2019, Jane toured twenty-one theatres across Australia and New Zealand with actor Sir David Suchet in his retrospective show and discovered that live conversations in theatres produced a magical cocktail of electricity and intimacy. So, join Jane and the panel, live in the theatre – the church of empathy and possibility! No topic is too difficult and no question too stupid to ask.
