Space on Earth: Brendan Wan on Producing with Purpose

Improv in Practice

In his early twenties, Brendan Wan moved overseas and lived in various countries over a number of years. This time away resulted in him refining his creative direction, returning home to Australia with a clear sense of passion and purpose. We spoke with Brendan about how important it is to find your own voice as a performer, the rewards of producing content with a purpose beyond yourself, practical daily journaling, and having the confidence to create work with simplicity instead of getting bogged down in unnecessary complexity.

At Space on Earth, we run creative workshops in improv, sketch, stand-up, writing, acting, filmmaking, podcasting, streaming, and producing. To see our upcoming classes, head to spaceonearth.co. We're also building a community on our Discord server which is free to join. This can be accessed at discord.gg/spaceonearth.
