For emerging and mid-career artists, the path forward feels more uncertain than ever. Funding is shrinking, opportunities are concentrated in fewer hands, and the cost of sustaining a career in the creative industries continues to rise. Many gifted artists find themselves caught in the difficult “middle” — no longer beginners, but not yet secure enough to thrive without constant struggle. For The Rising is a step in the right direction for those artists.
For The Rising is a podcast for the next generation of creatives. Each episode features honest, insightful conversations with creatives excelling across the arts. From casting directors revealing how choices are made, to fight directors sharing how they build trust, to actors exploring how they let go — the conversations, hosted by Kieton Saunders-Browne, uncover lessons, strategies, and stories that can guide emerging artists who are on the rise to their own success.
