Arts
In today’s episode I have a beautiful chat with Cristina D’Agostino. Cristina is a very talented musical theatre performer who has graced the stage in many shows including Guys and Dolls, West Side Story, A Chorus Line, The Addams Family, Matilda, Strictly Ballroom, and Jersey Boys – which she starred in only four months after giving birth to her first child! Cristina has most recently worked as Resident Choreographer on ‘Shrek The Musical’ and is currently studying a masters of counselling whilst baking her second child in Melbourne’s lockdown. In this chat we discuss her childhood in Mt Gambier, her journey in musical theatre and the many performance experiences she has had, as well as her work as Resident Choreographer on ‘Shrek The Musical’. We also talk all things motherhood! Cristina shares her experience entering motherhood, maintaining a career in the performing arts and her blog ‘The Show Can Go On.’ Cristina, and her husband Jordan, have somehow managed to strike the balance between a traditional life journey of getting married, buying a house and starting a family, whilst both maintaining successful careers in the performing arts. Cristina shares the triumphs and challenges of how they make this work! It’s a special episode showcasing a different perspective on the performing arts, with lots of inspiring nuggets of gold for anyone who has ever considered starting a family or maintaining a long distance relationship whilst working as a performer.
