May 31: Intellectual Feasting. Carolyn Burke and Helen Greenwood in conversation – Carolyn Burke's biography of Lee Miller reveals that after World War II, Miller became a Cordon Bleu chef and invented Surrealist-inspired recipes. Burke's biography includes a "Dinner for Eight" with recipes for some culinary creations with which Miller delighted friends and unnerved food writers. She discusses the sensuous and intellectual appeal of cooking with someone who knows it well, Sydney Morning Herald food writer Helen Greenwood. Sydney Theatre, Richard Wherrett Studio.

June 1: Writing Twentieth Century Lives: Hazel Rowley and Carolyn Burke in conversation– Hazel Rowley's Tête-à-Tête offers the first dual portrait of a legendary couple: passionate, freethinking existentialist philosopher-writers Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre. Carolyn Burke's Lee Miller is a portrait of the extraordinary and controversial beauty, fashion model, Surrealist muse, assistant and model of Man Ray, Vogue photographer, war photographer, sexual bohemian, and more. Sydney Theatre.

May 25: An Hour with Carolyn Burke — "A woman has to be a monster to be an artist," says a character in Carolyn Burke's Lee Miller: On Both Sides of the Camera. Surrealist muse, staggering beauty, Lee Miller took over the camera and recorded the horrors of war. "I could never get the stink of Dachau out of my nostrils," Miller said in old age. In this illustrated talk, Burke lays bare this fascinating woman — a pioneer artist in a largely macho world. ASB Theatre, Level 2 at The Aotea Centre, THE EDGE®

May 26: Giant Footprints in the Sand — Biography reconstructs where giants once walked and climbed. Hagiography is the worshipful account of fame. Following in Edmund Hillary's footsteps, Alexa Johnston gave us insight into an icon. Christine Cole Catley resurrected Beatrice Hill Tinsley, an New Zealand woman astronomer of genius. Carolyn Burke created a multidimensional portrait of the remarkable photojournalist and Surrealist muse, Lee Miller. Where does biography end and hagiography start?

May 26: Loose Women — Mary Wesley led a wild life. Lee Miller seemed constitutionally incapable of monogamy. In many ways these women acted in a contemporary manner. Was it class that gave them their freedom? Did each pay a high price? Patrick Marnham and Carolyn Burke talk about Mary Wesley and Lee Miller — sexually enfranchised women whose professional lives provided ballast against the anarchy within.
