Creative minds six of Australia's leading artists talk revealingly about their art

This is a six-part series of documentary interviews that brings the audience into intimate contact with the people who create Australian art or who contribute in a significant way to Australian cultural life. Each program explores in depth an artist's life story and the influences that inform his or her work, using the artist's own words, memories, and insights. The artists featured are Bill Henson, Geoffrey Rush, Kate Grenville, Elena Kats-Chernin, Robyn Archer, and Stephen Page. The selection of subjects reflects the range of art forms that feed into our rich national cultural life. Visual artists, choreographers, actors, writers, composers, and cabaret artists make up the mix. They are in conversation with Robin Hughes, who has interviewed more than eighty prominent Australians. In Creative Minds, not only do we hear and see the evolving narrative of each artist's creative development, we are also told of their achievements, struggles, failures and disappointments and how they have responded to them.
