Who is Glynn Nicholas?
An Australian performer, director, writer and producer. Father to 2 girls who enjoys creating good accessible theatre.
What would you do differently to what you do now?
Nothing – everything is just perfick, even when it’s not easy.
Who inspires you and why?
I get inspired when I see good art – be it on stage or in a gallery or in a public place. Art reminds me of what it is to be human. I believe that is its purpose.
What would you do to make a difference in the world?
Hopefully I am doing my small part by creating theatre that builds community. I have a pretty exciting vision.
Favourite holiday destination and why?
No place in particular, just somewhere to relax and re-connect with nature – mountains, valleys, the ocean.
When friends come to town, what attraction would you take then to, and why?
In Melbourne I would take them along Chapel Street (fashion), Acland Street (cake and gelati), Smith Street (restaurants and cool shops), the Arts precinct (see a show), the cafes in Little Collins (brekky on a Sunday morning), and Phillip Island (beaches and the race track if they had a motor bike they would loan me).
What are you currently reading?
Influence by Robert D Cialdini and a couple of others.
What are you currently listening to?
My daughter doing her vocal practice – and an array of Jazz artist.
Happiness is?
Serving others in some way.
What does the future hold for you?
Absolutely no idea, but the best is yet to come.
