#19 - Tyran Parke
What does that term ‘artist’ mean? How and where do we learn how to be one? And how do artists actually support themselves and others in a community and business that can be isolating, competitive and ultimately terribly rewarding and meaningful.
Todays guest is Tyran Parker Australia’s award-winning singer, actor, director and recording artist. He is currently the Head of Music Theatre at the Victorian College of the Arts (VCA), the Executive Producer of the Australian Musical Theatre Festival and the Artistic Director of Clovelly Fox Theatre Company.
This chat recorded in his office at the Victorian College of the Arts in Melbourne, 2019 is one of the more personal episodes we have released so far. This chat that does focus more on theatre and musical theatre - we dig deep into how we feel about writing, being artists, making art in Australia.
We take turns name dropping some of our favourite colleagues and idols including Hal Prince, and explore how the greats develop their skills and relationships, while making art they are proud of.
If you are enjoying the program maybe take a moment to go follow wherever you get your podcasts! Don’t forget to share this with a friend or enemy - nothing better than helping someone you dislike with a great program they might fall in in love wit.
And a quick side note, I do reference my first musical here BECOMING BILL - if you want to hear more about that or listen you’ll find al that in the show notes.
Quick story, this episode started with Tyran and I chatting on the phone for hours about a project I was trying to create. I was in a airport bar, waiting for a flight and it was such a fun and informative chat I asked if he would come on the show. I’m so thrilled he agreed. Although, I didn’t expect to start with me asking about a list on the wall of his office… “5 performers that can chat and cry at the same time.”
