Brad Turner Canadian craftsperson and glass artist, Brad Turner. The Rookie cast and characters: names, photos, other roles 7. The characters in such shows are not your ordinary masterful actors, but regular people with regular lives. If you have been yearning for a change in the film niche, a touch of an unpredictable plot that is hardly scripted, then reality TV is what you need. Where is the Blown Away cast today? One of "Blown Away" season 1 cast, Janusz Pozniak. The show is so riveting that you cannot help but wonder about the cast. The audience gets to watch ten skilful glass artists in North America perfect their craft of sculpture and impress the host, artist-in-resident judge, guest panellist, and the audience, of course. Blown Away is a Canadian glassblowing competition television series that follows this compelling narrative. Such is the premise of numerous reality television shows nowadays. Of course, journos have certain agendas they need to honour, limited print spaces and the ever-increasing pressure for click-worthy grabs, so the article doesn’t quite capture it all as I experienced it, but it’s nonetheless great to see my work, indie theatre and Lyme disease get some coverage in these information-crowded times.A lot can happen when master craftsmen and women are pitted against each other with a promise of outstanding awards for the most exquisite masterpiece. I expressed (possibly naive) hope for a newfound appreciation of the Arts during this time, but also the fear that artists are so used to having to get by on their own, that this default robustness may sadly backfire and see us left, yet again, to fend for ourselves. I also spoke of the government’s neglect of the Arts industry in the various support packages put forth and how it is art we turn to at such times to save our sanity and show us the mirror of ourselves. I spoke at length about how familiar this all already is to many in the chronic illness and disability community about how I’ve learnt to find possibility in my years of restriction and how this now makes me oddly well-equipped for this pandemic. About how freakin’ amazing it is to simply be alive. A show about how much you realise you have when everything is taken away from you and you have to start over. I spoke about the unexpected poignant timing of performing Happy-Go-Wrong which is about the great lessons sickness has taught me and the extraordinary resilience we don’t know we have in us til we’re put to the test. So I got interviewed many weeks ago, just after scrambling back home from New Zealand. It gives voice to the challenged Arts sector and makes the experiences of artists accessible to the mainstream at a time when it feels like our role in the world has been forgotten. I’m in the paper today as part of The Age’s important series on ‘Artists in the Time of COVID19’. I’m currently working with 5 artists from different parts of Australia and would love to cheer on more. “Andi, how do you put on a show with a chronic illness?” “Andi, how do I deal with my creative blocks?” “Andi, how do I sell my show on social media without feeling like a used car salesman?” “Andi, how do I get started writing my own show?” “Andi, when you’re pitching to a venue, do you tell them your fee straight away?” “Andi, do you think a fake octopus or rubber chicken would work best for this scene?” “Andi, how do you overcome your fears and share so vulnerably on stage?” Announcing my new biz! KICK UP THE ARTS Creative Mentoring.ĭo you need a good kick up the arts? Let me be your cheerleader! I’ve been accidentally mentoring artists for a few years now and it turns out it’s one of my favourite things to do.
