What a way to start our first Thriving Conversation for 2021 with one of Australia's award-winning director, writer and script developer who works internationally in theatre, TV and film. With the Arts industry being one of the first to shut down due to Covid 19 John and I talk about 'thriving' in this environment - the difficulties and the joys.
John is an educator and we discuss his rich skill set that brings other peoples stories to life on stage and screen. You will enjoy John's stories of building a family during production rehearsals, encouraging autonomy of interpretation, leading from the front, middle and back stalls and appreciate his sense of humour and lens on the world. There are a few metaphors added for effect as well!
We discuss his most recent stage production of Anne Washburn's 'Mr. Burns, a post-electric play' for Lightning Jar Theatre won Best Independent Production at the 2020 Green Room Awards after two completely sold-out Melbourne seasons just before covid restrictions cam into place.
Pop your headphones in and enjoy this 'ordinary guy doing extraordinary things!"
