After an illustrious career in theatre and the creative arts, Brenna Hobson is now Director of Programming at the Sydney Opera House. She was also fully educated at a Steiner school, and in this episode of Steiner X, Brenna reflects on the formative influences that shaped a career which took her from the Belvoir Street Theatre in Sydney to Executive Director of the National Theatre of Scotland in Glasgow. On her return to Sydney and appointment to the Sydney Opera House in 2024 she was described as a “powerful story-teller and collaborative cultural leader”. She now oversees the delivery of up to 700 events and productions annually in this most iconic of Australian buildings.  Yet her Steiner roots still echo through the years as the memories of Main Lesson stories, hiking in Nature and traditional crafts continue to resonate in both her professional, and personal life.
