#1. The Pursuit of London, Libraries and Lockdown with Lauren and Will Wood
Hello dear listener. Whoever you are and wherever you are welcome to episode number 1.
My name is Lauren. I am performing artist and Aussie living abroad and whilst currently stuck at home in lockdown I figured now was as good a time as any to make something new. So I’ve decided to start a podcast! An interview series that discusses traveling for work in the performing arts.
In this episode we start from the very beginning. With me… and my Husband Will as we discuss our journey of moving from Brisbane Australia to the new world we find ourselves in, here in London!
We discuss navigating the visa process, struggling with work and finances and how living in London has made us, well if nothing else… a little more street smart. We also, inevitably spoke about how the corona virus has been affecting our lives over the past twelve months and how best to produce a podcast without spending a cent.
So, without further ado, let’s get to it!

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!
