What if your creative career didn’t have to fit into just one box?

In this episode of Artists Unveiled, Holiday sits down with the endlessly fascinating Sara Sugihara, whose career has taken her from classical piano to dance, choreography, teaching, composing, translation, and everything in between.

Sara has spent decades moving through the arts on her own terms, from dancing and choreographing internationally to working with companies like Ballet Rambert, Australian Dance Theatre, and West Australian Ballet. But what makes her story especially interesting is the way she sees all of these disciplines as connected. For Sara, music, movement, language, teaching, and creativity are all part of the same conversation.

She talks about being told she wasn't talented enough to dance, finding her way to New York anyway, learning languages because she simply had to, and discovering that the skills she built in one art form could completely transform the way she approached another.

We also get into the less glamorous side of a creative career: making a living, touring, teaching, staying productive, reinventing yourself when your body tells you it's time to change direction, and figuring out what comes next when the path you started on no longer looks the same.

And then there is Sara's approach to teaching, which might be one of our favorite parts of the conversation. If you can't explain it, how can you expect someone else to understand it? Her answer to that question has shaped the way she teaches dance, thinks about music, and works with other artists.

This is a conversation about staying curious, refusing to narrow yourself, and building a creative life that can keep evolving with you.

What happens when activism becomes storytelling?

On this episode of Artists Unveiled, Holiday sits down with Mark Mori, an Academy Award nominated and Emmy Award winning documentary filmmaker, television producer, and president of Single Spark Pictures, for a conversation about filmmaking, activism, truth, and the stories that have the power to move people.

Mark's journey into documentary filmmaking didn't begin in a traditional film school. It began with political activism, the Vietnam War, and even five years working in a steel mill because he believed that real change had to come from everyday working people. From there, he found filmmaking as another way to reach people, expose stories, and inspire action.

Mark shares the story behind his latest documentary, Baristas vs. Billionaires, which follows Starbucks workers as they organize from the ground up and take on one of the world's most powerful corporations. He talks about the people who inspired the film, the unexpected moments that shaped the story, and why he believes this new generation of workers could be part of a new labor movement.

The conversation also goes deeper into the craft itself. Mark talks about finding stories that have been left untold, building a team around a shared vision, raising money for independent documentaries, navigating film festivals and distribution, knowing when to stop shooting, and why so much of documentary filmmaking actually happens in the edit.

For Mark, filmmaking has never been just about making a film. It's about telling the truth, giving people something to believe in, and creating stories that can inspire them to do something.

Whether you're an aspiring documentary filmmaker, a creative looking for ways to bring your ideas to life, or simply someone interested in the power of storytelling, this conversation is a look into what happens when creativity meets conviction

Seasoned Actor-Manager Sam Underwood (Fear the Walking Dead, Dexter, Dynasty, The Following) joins Holiday on Artists Unveiled for an incredibly honest conversation about what it really means to pursue a life in the arts. From navigating success in television to finding his way back to live theatre, Sam opens up about the moments that shaped him both as an actor and as a person.

At the centre of the conversation is The Real Ivanov, a bold new adaptation of Anton Chekhov's Ivanov, described as "a comedy about despair." Together, Sam and Holiday unpack the play's exploration of loneliness, depression, guilt, identity, and the often overlooked reality of asking for help. They also discuss why this centuries old story feels strikingly relevant today, touching on the pressures of modern life, the importance of community, and the role live performance continues to play in bringing people together.

The conversation moves far beyond the stage. Sam reflects on growing up in the UK, discovering theatre through dance, building a career across film, television, and Broadway, the pressure of people pleasing, creative burnout, and the difficult road to recovery after addiction. He shares what it's like to navigate the entertainment industry while trying to stay true to yourself, why vulnerability has become one of his greatest strengths, and how redefining success ultimately brought him back to the work he loves most.

Whether you're an actor, artist, musician, or simply someone trying to carve out a meaningful path in a constantly changing world, this episode is a reminder that creativity isn't just about performance, it's about connection, resilience, and having the courage to keep showing up.
