Puppeteer, actor and writer Drew Wilson was always the guy with the career I wanted in puppetry. With roles in Australia's very first Warhorse, to playing the heroic title role of Lazer Beak Man for Dead Puppet Society, Drew has fascinated me in the fact that he maintains his terminal loveliness while also abstaining from labelling himself as any one kind of artist. In this industry Drew has harnessed interests and embraced his weirdo to find spaces where he can play to his strengths.
In this interview, a "D&D Master, cross stitching, fitness coach, actor/puppet who also writes"... is able to pour out his heart on the hero's journey, storytelling, finding acceptance and trust within his support network, and the highs and lows of finding the right representation in Australia.
I gained so much personally from this talk with Drew, and what it has taught me is that sometimes our greatest strength, our superpower perhaps, can be our capacity for vulnerability and our willingness to break the mold.
