In this episode of the podcast, I welcome Baden Hitchcock to the studio, a dancer with the Bangarra Dance Theatre, whose creative upbringing — thanks to his mother's loving encouragement — presented him with opportunities that have brought him around the world. With family in Papua New Guinea and the Torres Strait Islands, music, singing and dancing are second nature, making it a wonder to his family how he made it into a living. We chat about growing up with these strong women in his life, his teenage wardrobe that consisted of homemade garments and hand-me-down's inherited by his Russian violin teacher's dead husband, and how all this made him the man he is today.
Head over to meninthistown.com to view selects from our portrait session and in the meantime I hope you enjoy the conversation that took place.
Produced by MITT Work, recorded at Pocket Studio in Sydney.
