Judith Isherwood was genuinely surprised when, during interviews with Wales and London-based media following her appointment as the inaugural Chief Executive of the Wales Millennium Centre (WMC), the most commonly asked question was: ‘Why Wales?’
Isherwood, who is one of a number of Australians to take up managerial positions at UK arts organisations over the past few months, thought: ‘Well, why not?’
Michelle lived and worked in Rome and London as a freelance feature writer for two and a half years before returning to Australia to take up the position of Head Writer for Arts Hub UK. She was inspired by thousands of years of history and art in Rome, and by London's pubs. Michelle holds a BA in Journalism from RMIT University, and also writes for Arts Hub Australia.
