AN INTERVIEW SERIES THAT CHATS WITH ARTISTS ABROAD ABOUT THE PURSUIT OF THEIR CREATIVE CAREERS
It's one thing to train for a career in the arts but pursuing one takes guts, commitment and the certainty that there is simply nothing else on this earth that you would rather be doing.
As performing artists our careers can take us on some pretty amazing adventures. Contracts that have us travelling the world, sailing the seas and sometimes even relocating to live and work in new and foreign countries.
In 2018, I packed down everything I owned and shipped off from Brisbane, Australia to start a new life pursuing a career as a performer in the UK. My adventure has only just begun and already I've experienced some of the highest highs and lowest lows of my career and life to date and the thing is... I'm not the only one doing this. Every year, countless creatives take huge risks to follow their dreams and further their careers abroad. Some of them I am lucky enough to call my friends. In speaking with these brave artists, I have begun to realise how unique, interesting and challenging every individual journey is and just how much can be learned from these experiences.
So tune in to hear stories from dancers, actors, singers, writers, podcasters, puppeteers, producers, directors, choreographers and countless other creative disciplines about what they've learnt from taking their careers abroad and how they've sustained themselves physically, emotionally and financially whilst doing it.
Learn, with me, the lesson that we don't get taught in college: how to not only pursue the arts, but to make it a sustainable career choice abroad!
