HERSTORY on RTRFM: Jenny Davis OAM

Jenny Davis OAM is well known to anyone involved in Australian theatre.

An innovator in every sense, Davis emigrated from England in 1976 with her husband and two children. For many years, Davis was the director of the West Australian Youth Theatre and a writer for ABC schools radio.

Through the medium of theatre, she has combined the performing arts, education and community health. Her practice involves working with those living with Alzheimers, providing a way to integrate storytelling into how we treat the disease. A writer, director, and performer in her own right, Jenny Davis is living proof that retirement is an outdated concept.

In this episode of HERSTORY on RTRFM, Jenny Davis speaks to Taylah Strano about aging disgracefully, the arts and the love of family.

HERSTORY is an RTRFM podcast series about some of the remarkable women in the Western Australian Hall of Fame.

Join us as we shine a light on the lives and careers of women who have demolished barriers, lived incredible lives, and built a legacy of possibility for the girls and young women who follow in their footsteps.
