Hello dear listener, whoever you are and wherever you are welcome to episode number 4 of THE PURSUIT POD.
The stories I get to play a part in sharing here on the pod leave me so inspired and are a constant reminder to me of just how unique and exciting our industry can be – and today’s episode is no exception. In fact today’s guest, the incredibly talented Musical director Matthew Samer has lead a career in Australia and now in the UK that any creative would aspire to.
Working his way up the ranks as an accompanist, assistant and associate Musical Director has taken Matt touring in productions around the UK as well as landing roles in highly acclaimed Fringe and West end shows. Sometimes even working in multiple big name performances at once.
His story is an absolute must listen for any aspiring musical directors out there.
And a fabulous example of how hard work and saying yes to things can lead you from one opportunity to the next.

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!
