ArtsHub speaks with three artists at different stages of their careers about what it means to change the direction of an arts practice, whether a distinct style still matters and practical tips on the transition.
Someone who took a radical change of direction is London-based actor turned potter Chris Keenan. He tells ArtsHub: ‘I was working in commercials, television and theatre as an actor in the 80s and early 90s but there came a point when work was trailing off. I had a year where I did one day’s work as an actor, and I thought, ‘There’s a bit more to me than just sitting around doing nothing’.”
