Neil Parsons has spent his career finding the spaces between disciplines. A childhood in a theatrical family set the stage, and that early spark grew into a career blending music, dance, and theater into something entirely his own. In this episode, he pulls back the curtain on how he builds unique experiences for audiences, what it’s like teaching interdisciplinary artists at the Boston Conservatory, and the lessons he’s picked up about giving himself permission to create, embracing uncertainty, and finding his own voice on stage. It’s a warm, honest conversation about breaking boundaries in the arts and what it takes to keep creating.
