Hello dear listener. Whoever you are and wherever you are welcome to episode no.3 of the pursuit pod. I’m Lauren Wood and this is where I hold discussions with artists who have travelled abroad in their pursuit of career fulfilment. And then somehow, work out how to turn it into a podcast, and share it with you!

In this discussion with Chris Fung, we hear about his journey of moving to London after what some would say has already been a pretty interesting musical theatre career back in Australia. We discuss why he felt the need to move and how the topic of race in Australian casting weighs on decisions such as his. But also how sheer luck, or perhaps perceived luck has played a part in his career trajectory.

The Pursuit Pod

AN INTERVIEW SERIES THAT CHATS WITH ARTISTS ABROAD ABOUT THE PURSUIT OF THEIR CREATIVE CAREERSIt'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!
