To celebrate March in style, Lauren and Nick sit down with Christopher Saunders to talk about creating social change through art. Not only is he an actor, enabler and creative producer, Christopher is also endlessly curious about how we work together to reframe our stories and connect ourselves to the real humans represented in the tales we tell.Through his work with BIGhART, and currently as General Manager of Renew Newcastle, Christopher shares some sage advice on sustainability and drawing on the resources you have to hand, as well as thinking outside the box to make things happen. It's an enjoyable discussion on how to keep your sense of creativity and motivation alive.Jam packed into the audio alongside this, Lauren and Nick take the opportunity to realign and focus, establish routine and talk about some amazing creative projects happening in Newcastle and Melbourne currently.
