All the World's a Stage: Wayne T. Carr on the Power of Artistic Skills Everywhere
Manage episode 477767158 series 3574025
In the continuation of our conversation with actor Wayne T. Carr, we explore what happens when artistic skills are applied beyond traditional creative spaces. Wayne shares how his theater training is helping professionals in the corporate world strengthen their communication, presence, and leadership.
He reflects on a pivotal experience in Europe that reshaped how he views the value of artists—and challenges the idea that creative careers aren’t “real jobs.” Through honest stories about self-validation, cultural perceptions, and the deep power of storytelling, this episode offers a fresh, grounded take on what it means to live a creative life.
If you’ve ever been told to “get a real job,” or questioned where your art fits in, this conversation is a reminder: your creativity matters—everywhere.

In the world of social media, and fast-paced journalism, knowledge is abound. But with all the noise, finding the right information is near impossible. Especially if you’re a creative working in independent film.
Produced by Cinematography For Actors, the Indiewood podcast aims to fix that. This is a podcast about indie filmmakers and the many hats we wear in order to solve problems before, during, and after production.
Every month, award-winning Writer/Director Yaroslav Altunin is joined by a different guest co-host to swap hats, learn about the different aspects of the film industry, and how to implement all you learn into your work.
"We learn from indie filmmakers so we can become better filmmakers. Because we all want to be Hollywood, but first we have to be Indiewood."
