A parent who no longer has all the time you used to have to make the art you want? Do you see yourself as an actress or one who creates and produces as well? A filmmaker who has managed to get 3 shorts into festivals? A writer who has written in many mediums from stage to prose to film? I know that the way we see ourselves dictates many of our actions. What we think we are, we make the priority to do. See yourself as someone who produces and markets new art (in whatever form that may come be in songs, videos or books) and you are more likely to actually find the time in the corners of your life to make it happen. See yourself as someone who is too busy to create and I can guarantee that your creative dreams remain just that dreams. I have just added the hashtag filmmaker to my Twitter bio. It seems a little insane to do so but it is actually correct. In the last month I have created, shot, edited and produced 3 standalone Singing Psychic sketches and then done all the posting online etc. Once I had broken my huge inner resistance of the making and posting of the first one (including the going to bed on the Saturday night before posting worrying my dramatic acting career was about to be destroyed ;)). Each one since has become easier as I have accepted that making The Singing Psychic videos is fundamental to me developing her as a character, as a brand and also building an audience. I have to fill a West End theatre for six nights in August so I am starting now Plus I am loving doing it!! Lessons I have learnt in the last four weeks of being a filmmaker (well a very short film but still!) Each short film (we are talking 2-3 mins) has got better, the editing the cuts, the lighting. Each film I make I get braver – this one had outdoor shots and 3 locations in total. Each film I learnt something new, video 1 I stressed about exporting it so it didn’t look weird with audio/video on YouTube, this recent one I was stressing about how to put my new The Singing Psychic logo onto the video as a watermark at the end. My logo was created by my fabulously brilliant art director/graphic designer extraordinaire Martin Butterworth. Each film I have got quicker at making and editing. I have now starting detaching the audio, playing with positioning it against imported images  and not being afraid I will make it look weird and not be able to put it right! Each film I have learnt something new about social media reach. This new one I posted onto Facebook directly via their upload function as opposed to posting on YouTube then posting the Youtube link onto Facebook. I got 300 Facebook views in 20 hours and 75 on YouTube – my audience is largely on Facebook – I have over a thousand followers, 99% I know well. I need to learn more! It is important to learn what you need to know as a Just In Time process – I have been listening to podcasts on the way to my current three days a week modelling job and from that I learnt re the native Facebook video importance. I am clueless about ‘seeding’ – that’s when you let friends and possible influences know about your blog or video, so I am focusing on listening to podcasts on that subject. I would like people to see my work I mean I stayed in all Saturday and said no to dates so I could make it #AskMarysia I am also going to start shooting  a series of weekly short podcasts and videos on the various questions I keep getting on twitter, via my blog and also in person as friends and followers see how my career progressing nicely forward. So if you have any questions you want me to tackle let me know via any of my social media links including Twitter @MarysiaT and via this blog contact form. #AskMarysia   Whilst I am not an Oscar winning actress (yet ;))) I am a working actress, as in it’s pay[...] #AskMarysia, Actors, Filmmakers, Gratitude, Inspiration, Motivation, Musicians, Writers Marysia Trembecka Actress/Blogger/Writer & Performer of her own shows no no https://loveyourcreativity.com/2015/02/21/riding-on-the-rollercoaster-of-a-creative-life/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2015/02/21/riding-on-the-rollercoaster-of-a-creative-life/#respond Sat, 21 Feb 2015 14:00:39 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=3388 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2015/02/21/riding-on-the-rollercoaster-of-a-creative-life/feed/ 0 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/12/24/festive-greetings-gratitude/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/12/24/festive-greetings-gratitude/#respond Wed, 24 Dec 2014 20:34:32 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=3360 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/12/24/festive-greetings-gratitude/feed/ 0 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/09/29/finding-your-creative-way/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/09/29/finding-your-creative-way/#respond Mon, 29 Sep 2014 22:28:38 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=3285 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/09/29/finding-your-creative-way/feed/ 0 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/08/20/fear-and-change-maybe-the-most-dangerous-thing-creatively-is-to-be-comfortable/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/08/20/fear-and-change-maybe-the-most-dangerous-thing-creatively-is-to-be-comfortable/#comments Wed, 20 Aug 2014 14:59:14 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=3228 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/08/20/fear-and-change-maybe-the-most-dangerous-thing-creatively-is-to-be-comfortable/feed/ 2 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/05/14/3028/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/05/14/3028/#respond Wed, 14 May 2014 12:11:28 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=3028 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/05/14/3028/feed/ 0 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/05/04/100-days-of-being-an-actress-day-2-self-taper-movie-editor/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/05/04/100-days-of-being-an-actress-day-2-self-taper-movie-editor/#respond Sun, 04 May 2014 23:32:13 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=2939 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/05/04/100-days-of-being-an-actress-day-2-self-taper-movie-editor/feed/ 0 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/04/29/who-is-going-to-save-this-world-we-artists-are/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/04/29/who-is-going-to-save-this-world-we-artists-are/#respond Tue, 29 Apr 2014 14:00:54 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=2915 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/04/29/who-is-going-to-save-this-world-we-artists-are/feed/ 0 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/04/20/happy-easter-dream-big-and-follow-through/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/04/20/happy-easter-dream-big-and-follow-through/#respond Sun, 20 Apr 2014 14:21:43 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=2867 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/04/20/happy-easter-dream-big-and-follow-through/feed/ 0 0:01:17 Happy Easter everyone, hope you all are having a lovely and relaxing time.

How[...] Happy Easter everyone, hope you all are having a lovely and relaxing time. Just made up an Easter morning song for you all above! So many of my friends and family are spending the day eating lots of chocolate but I am filming again this weekend. However my dad has been told he can leave hospital today as he had an operation on Thursday that went much better than expected so I am feeling very grateful for that Whatever you do this weekend, it would be great for you to try and take a little time to dream about your next creative project for the next 2 months and if you have a bank holiday tomorrow maybe carve out some time around family and friends to plan your next steps to get your project moving forward. The starting is always so scary but it has to happen or our little art ‘babies’ – our poems, novels, films, exhibitions stay just dreams and that is sad not just for you but the rest of us. The world needs more art spoken from the heart. I am writing this on set over Easter weekend, in a truly bonkers (but couture so I guess that makes it acceptable) all white outfit and full 1950s makeup & hair. I went out after filming and that make-up and hair was not easily coming off so I just changed and off I went to celebrate life! (Maria Beketova did the hair and makeup on set)   I did the Sci-Fi 48 hour film challenge last weekend and had a blast as it is such a collaborative effort. Of course all filmmaking is but the sheer focus of set build, script writing, filming, editing, music and colour grading all to deliver a finished sub 5 minute film in 48 hours really means everyone has to pull their weight absolutely and get it right first time. There is no time for tantrums, second guessing or self doubt from anyone.Challenge The idea is that all entrants get a line of dialogue and a prop they have to incorporate into the film and a theme, although Sci-Fi is obviously the main theme. I have always wanted to do this but knew I needed to work with a professional crew and cast who could deal with the insane time pressure and inevitable complications without cracking. I have done enough student films to know that some people get very rude under pressure or incompetent and quite frankly I didn’t need to deal with that when I was doing effectively a free project. I was lucky as everyone was fantastic, calm and brilliant from fellow actors, to make-up to the two camera crew. I arrived Saturday on set at 3pm, we got the quickly written script at 6pm and started shooting at 7pm. We wrapped the shoot Sunday at about 7pm and I left knowing that the long overnight job of editing, music, and colour grading had to go on. Somehow the film got in in time at 1pm Monday and we have been promised an all singing, dancing 8 minute version as they had to cut a lot to make it a 4.45 minute version. I would worry I have been left languishing on the cutting room floor but as I was the one who said the all important dialogue line I figured that’d be in if nothing else! It did clarify though that being left on the cutting room floor is just about the narrative through-line, the edit has to best fit the story as the director wants to tell it. It is not about you the actor but the storyline as the director and editor feel best to tell it. It is interesting though this idea of logic and narrative as I also tried the first 8 minutes of my new solo show this week. (Yes I have been super-creative!) The director/workshop leader Colin Watkeys who runs the Solo Theatre Festival kept focusing on our need to realise what our chosen narrative is and that thus we may have to personally cut favourite lines or characters if they don’t sit in with the logic of our show. I know from all the previous solo work I have done that the critics often focus on this through-line (previous blog post here) but it is a lesson always worth reminding myself of as I now take the next steps in developing this solo show idea.

UPDATE Lynn Ruth is doing her new show ’80’  at The Marlborough Theatre May 8,9,10 and 11 @ 6 p.m for the Brighton Fringe Festival 2014 details here Here are some of the highlights (this is not a full transcript) ‘My mantra is that I am no  different than anyone else, I just don’t say no to life. I don’t have a special talent, Any talent that I have developed. it didn’t start off as a talent, it  started out as an interest, and I just kept doing it until it became an ability’ The reason she pursued this career in cabaret and stand up comedy at 71 is because she took a class in stand up and she was cheered by the audience, she had never seen love like that in her entire life, she thought that this is the most beautiful kind of love there is, (She was 71) You don’t have to cook them dinner, you don’t have to change the sheets Lynn Ruth started doing stand up at 71 and cabaret at 73. She is now 80 years of age and last year won the TOAST (Time Out And Soho Theatre) award at Edinburgh, the prize being that a two week stint at the gorgeous cabaret lounge downstairs at the Soho Theatre, March 11th to March 22nd 2014. Details here I first met Lynn Ruth in 2007 at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival where I was doing my own cabaret/comedy show as well as hosting and producing the Midnight Carousel cabaret each night for C Venues. I would sing cabaret, chat and have six guests on a night and Lynn Ruth was my very favorite guest, she called her show then granny cabaret. I also saw her in Brighton Festival 2010 where Lynn Ruth was doing her show ‘Alzheimers, Alzheimers’ and I was with my great friend and colleague Elizabeth Mee as we were doing our show ‘Cooking And Cabaret’. She is based in San Francisco and comes every summer for the last 7 years. She also did Britain’s Got Talent, an agent found her that way. Simon Cowell’s criticism was absolutely spot on as her humour is about being old and you can predict where it is going. She picked the most predictable stuff and it is a big audience so she chose material that didnt make the audience think too much. ‘I am 80 and I am on my third car because I can’t remember where I parked the other two” Lynn Ruth was a teacher and has several degrees in teaching, she believes you can spot very creative children as they don’t really get the rules, they are not so much naughty as they don’t understand the rules. Lynn  Ruth has always seen a different answer, creative people seem to have a different version of reality. Her parents were Jewish and their goal in life was to blend in to society when they came to America. She never blended very well. Her heritage has no interest for her, she is always interested where life can take her. She has always written and when you write you redefine the world in your own terms. She started writing at six and had a poem published at nine years of age. She was always surprised when people thought her writing was special. Her creativity was always words, not science. Always through school she came up with a different conclusion, not the accepted one which was viewed as a bad thing for her family and her society. She never had a conformist mind and yet thought she was normal but then years later her sister, who was very good at confirming, called and asked her to come to a party if ‘you don’t do what you do’ Lynn Ruth didn’t know what that was. (I can relate to this!) Lynn Ruth has such freedom in her, and I love seeing that as a creative. Lynn Ruth always questions the right or wrong of art for example the role of directing. She is terrible at collaborative work but her current show is written with her pianist Robert Pettigrew as they have the same goal. She is loving having a real live pianist who follows her and makes her a better performer. Lynn Ruth believes in the importance of the arts, that that is where the t[...] Auditions, Directors, Fun, Gratitude, Inspiration, Motivation, Podcast, Writers Marysia Trembecka Actress/Blogger/Writer & Performer of her own shows no no https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/03/11/youve-got-to-win-youve-got-to-risk-everything/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/03/11/youve-got-to-win-youve-got-to-risk-everything/#respond Tue, 11 Mar 2014 16:05:18 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=2765 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/03/11/youve-got-to-win-youve-got-to-risk-everything/feed/ 0 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/03/08/the-courage-to-try-the-impossible-make-the-world-free/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/03/08/the-courage-to-try-the-impossible-make-the-world-free/#respond Sat, 08 Mar 2014 14:00:13 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=2749 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/03/08/the-courage-to-try-the-impossible-make-the-world-free/feed/ 0 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/02/20/respecting-your-own-instincts-as-an-actor/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/02/20/respecting-your-own-instincts-as-an-actor/#comments Thu, 20 Feb 2014 14:01:32 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=2682 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/02/20/respecting-your-own-instincts-as-an-actor/feed/ 3 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/02/08/chicken-documentary-that-i-narrated-has-been-nominated-for-an-award/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/02/08/chicken-documentary-that-i-narrated-has-been-nominated-for-an-award/#respond Sat, 08 Feb 2014 14:00:19 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=2644 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/02/08/chicken-documentary-that-i-narrated-has-been-nominated-for-an-award/feed/ 0 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/01/18/guillermo-del-toro-on-embracing-failure-me-on-constricting-oneself-as-an-artist/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/01/18/guillermo-del-toro-on-embracing-failure-me-on-constricting-oneself-as-an-artist/#respond Sat, 18 Jan 2014 12:51:37 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=2543 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/01/18/guillermo-del-toro-on-embracing-failure-me-on-constricting-oneself-as-an-artist/feed/ 0 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/12/18/the-space-between-where-you-want-to-go-where-you-are-now-bridge-it-through-action/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/12/18/the-space-between-where-you-want-to-go-where-you-are-now-bridge-it-through-action/#respond Wed, 18 Dec 2013 18:19:37 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=2380 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/12/18/the-space-between-where-you-want-to-go-where-you-are-now-bridge-it-through-action/feed/ 0 0:34:53 Marysia with Ryan James Lock Coaching Audio Session 0010 ‘See the space between where you want to go and where you are now.  The distance between there and here is through action.

Your action that you chose to take. .’  In this 10th coaching session podcast Ryan continues to coach me on how to market myself and my work, achieving my big goals, looking at my mindset and tackle my limiting beliefs and overcome procrastination. Ryan coached me over coffee in London a few weeks ago and by the end of the second coffee I had decided to do my first online workshop and webinar and write an ebook!  My first webinar was ‘5 ways to blast through creative blocks and get your project done” You can listen to the replay and this week’s free workshop here This podcast covered Moving forward and making big drastic steps, really stepping up. Most people know what they need to step up to the next level but there are often mental blocks to the doing. You know what to do but you are not doing it. ‘The strategies you have used to get you to where you are now, are not the same strategies that you need to take you to the next level.’ I did my normal last minute.com chaos to do my book and webinar recently.  ‘Little and often’ does not really work unless I have had to implement it eg voice and singing practice every day. My ebook and webinar I kept putting off actually doing until the deadline got too near to ignore. Four days from the deadline I had to work out the technology of a webinar or a ebook shop plus assemble the ebook and write the webinar. In my setting a date then I again HAVE to produce so I was up til 3 am most mornings and go to that uber focused place. Ryan says you must congratulate yourself in getting on and stepping up to the next stage of your life. Ryan’s procrastination list exercise Write out a list of everything you are putting off doing that you know you should be. Where are you playing too small? What steps could you take for your business or creativity? Then write against each one a step you can take. In writing my ebook  I then knew I wanted a dip in/dip out book rather than a progression from start to finish. It was only on starting to compile this I realised that was what this book needed. ‘The worse thing you can do is nothing’ I am struggling though with doing my showreel, editing it and getting it out there. As actors or creatives we are always waiting for clips or production stills to then send out. We have to collate pieces of showreel for work and yet I have been refusing to watch myself. How else can people know I can act on screen if they can’t see my work? I need showreel to move forward to do film and TV work. I really focused on getting the webinar and ebook out the door last week and not on the actual marketing of myself. Do you have a portfolio of work that you are happy to show people? I also have not been marketing my Londontown, track you hear at the beginning and end of the podcasts. The universe is reflecting back my hesitation. The universe seems to have stopped just as I have stopped myself from moving forward by refusing to do the work I need to do next; producing and putting my showreel and also getting my Londontown single out there. I am refusing to watch myself on screen, then put in an edit and let the world see it, what happens if the world thinks I am a bad actress? If the work is not out there the world can’t think I am bad or it is terrible. If I don’t do that then noone can see me and judge it. Ryan says ‘If you don’t move forward nothing can.’ Ryan says that I have raised the bar for myself, the space between where you are and where you could be, that space manifests itself as anxiety, worry, hesitation. Ryan encourages me to look at the fact I have done well. Look at where I am now and how I have moved forward. I am more self aware and developed a progressive mentality.

I did a class with David years ago on podcasting and also used to be in a singing class with his now wife Siobhan. David is an award winning podcaster ‘Geek Syndicate’ who also acts, directs and teaches. He has just been an understudy in the West End play ‘Fences’ and directed Monteverdi Orfeo for Isleworth Baroque to great acclaim (‘best production they’ve done in 10 years’ was his favourite review).. He was on the committee for the British Comic Awards (as in comic books) and hosted the award ceremony. He also interviewed the ex Dr’s Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy and Peter Davison and current writer/producer Steven Moffat at the Dr Who 50th celebration last weekend. ‘Best way to network is to be really good and be really easy to work with’. ‘If you make space and open it up to the universe, then take that step of faith, If you don’t make the space, what is going to come along to fill it as it is already filled with whatever nonsense is there to buy food.’ Before we get into our conversation I am doing a free workshop on ‘Five Ways To Blast Through Creative Blocks And Get Your Project Done’ this Thursday, details here. David started podcasting 8 years  ago, him and his friend recorded the first one whilst drunk on very expensive whiskey, within 3 to 4 years they has 2000 downloads a week. It has taken him places he would have never have been otherwise. There is a podcast network of ten to eleven under the umbrella of Geek Syndicate, back in the early days first people would ask about the name and then they would ask ‘what is a podcast?’, that was where they were when it started, noone then knew. They got nominated many times for the podcast awards but kept being competed against a Harry Potter podcast. They did win eventually in a different category David has been understudying in Fences, a West End play which Lenny Henry stars. He teaches twitter, podcast and acting classes of various levels.. He was in Jamaica for a year in 1999 and was thinking he wanted to be an actor. He returned to London and was drinking with a friend in Soho, saying ‘I want to act but I think I’ve left it too late’ This drunk guy who was standing next to them went ‘F*** Off, I am 40 years old and I am doing a part time acting evening course at the City Lit’, so David went off to that and now he teaches that very course 13 years later. 5 years later after the evening class he left to act, ‘the scariest thing I had ever done, I had a job and no idea what would happen after’ ‘Stuff is waiting to happen but you can’t see it if you are too busy getting in with normal life,’ I said as as an actor you can create drama in life as opposed to be on stage, be unnecessarily dramatic in relationships, when you clear the rubbish out, then drama gets back to where it belongs on the stage. David thinks he is there again, he is teaching so much that he needs to make space for his acting again. ‘Feed yourself as well as others.’ Siobhan, his wife is a fantastic classical singer so she and a friend asked David to oversee/direct a project. He was very ignorant on the world of opera and he thought they were all fuddy duddies but realised he was wrong having met Siobhan. They asked him to direct them and he wasn’t sure he liked opera anyway. However they asked ‘can you bring a sense of theatre to it?’, and off they went. He now teaches bringing a sense of acting to the performance, He often finds people are singing words they do not understand without any idea of what they mean. If you ask a writer for advice ‘just write something, the act of writing invokes something else, and gives ideas. Sometimes you just have to do stuff’ I talk about my jazz album from years ago and now one of the songs Londontown has a dance remix, and we are planning to release a dance single.

The podcast has all the full details on but these show notes are for quick reference. Learn how to find yourself irresistible, fall in love with yourself and from there the world will be a better place for yourself and others. Thus you will be able to create from a place of joy and freedom. As Liz Ranken said in our interview, you have to get the ego out of the way and let the work come through. So first thing in the morning do the following 5 tips at least (should take you about 5 mins max), ideally get Tips 6 and 7 done too! First Tip   Think specifically of one part of you that is beautiful and/or strong, your boobs, biceps, skin. Second Tip  Find one specific thing you are grateful for regards your physical health and well being eg I can bend down and tie my shoe laces. Be positive! Third Tip    Pick a specific spiritual or human to human positive thing you did yesterday for example “I was really kind to X, even though she always seem to have exactly the same problems with men, I listened and was compassionate”, or “I was honest and clear with her about her choices of consistently unavailable men” Tip Four  On a creative aspect or in work and life think of something you are proud of. ‘I struggled to get my degree but I got it’, ‘I made a phone call I didn’t want to’, ‘I paid off and closed my credit card’. Tip Five Glen Walford reminded me of this technique with her own special twist to it. She is a great director and actress and among her many theatre productions she has directed some of Willy Russell’s plays including Shirley Valentine with Meera Syal that I saw and loved. She is an amazing director and creative who really reminded me of why I want to act, and can bring out things in you you had forgotten were there Stand in the room and say from a place of truth ‘I am very beautiful’ and believe it three times Then “I am very powerful” three times Then mix them  up, feel how your words change how you stand and feel, how the energy in the room changes as does how we change how we feel. Water Crystal Research and Interview (from 13.00)by Dr Masaro Emotu Everything in existence vibrates – see the crystal move to different kinds of music. Even exposure to negative written words (23.00) is amazing to see in water crystals. Some quick graphic clips on his research youtube on this Tip Six  Daily Exercise, ideally first thing in the morning, even 15 minutes or a lunchtime walk to the shops Tip Seven Accept a thank you or a compliment with grace. Minimum Seven days, ideally a month of doing this every day. Just remember someone has looked at you and thought about you that you are beautiful and strong, as a child a teenager, as a grown person.   The weekly tracking – Yours and mine This podcast newsletter sets a 13 minute creative exercise and then our weekly tracking where I encourage you to do an end of week think back on what has been done, produced, worked on, booked and paid for creatively. (I don’t mean you are doing ‘creative accounting”!) Whether you are a full time painter or a 40 hours a week office administrator who sings on the side, this is to encourage you to keep creating and make the world a better place, one song, poem, piece of art at a time. The following is what we need to track each week as a look back in brief, full explanations are in the podcast is here How many CV’s and emails did you send out for creative work? How many creative jobs did you actually do, whether 8 shows a week, a gallery opening or a song in a children hospice? How many auditions and meetings for creative projects?
