From the opera, to well-known German theatres to live music acts, film viewings, gallery exhibitions and the performing arts, you can find a wealth of Australian culture and arts in Germany. It bears testament to the closeness of Australian and German cultural relations.

Our panel of experts and artists in the performing arts sector, included: Nora Gatewood-Kurz, Senate Department for Culture and Europe, Berlin, Stefan Schmidtke, Program Director, Theater der Welt, Peter Scollin, Platypus Theater Berlin, Paul White, dancer and choreographer and Melanie Jame Wolf, performance and video artist.  The webinar was moderated by Mala Ghedia, filmmaker / actress.
