00:09 Ballarat has a lot to offer people like me.
00:12 We have one of the strongest and most vibrant and diverse performing arts scenes in the country,
00:18 at least the state, and the amount of talent and variety of performances you can put on here is amazing.
00:26 So I'm sure I could do a lifetime of shows and works here and still have plenty of ideas left over that I could still pursue.
00:35 But yeah, Ballarat is very lucky to have so many performing arts venues.
00:39 We have a symphony orchestra, we've got the two music theatre companies, we've got the Rat Pack,
00:43 we have the Ballarat National Theatre, we have performing arts schools.
00:46 So it's a rich, melting pot of ideas and people.
00:51 And I think it's a place that I can contribute to and I like being part of that community.
00:56 [Music]
01:00 I would like to see Ballarat's support for the performing arts grow even more.
01:05 I think there is quite a bit of support already, but I think I would like to see the local performing arts organisations
01:16 really embraced by the community and the city as a whole, because I believe that our performing arts is a jewel in our crown.
