This week I start the session feeling exhausted and with no energy to move things forward. Here are some of the highlights of his advice for moving forward this week (this is not a full transcript) We discuss doing Free Work, as an actor, singer or even as a graphic designer how much free work can you do? How do you balance being free, open and generous with having a life and a business to run, with using up all your energy that free work takes up? Ryan – “when it comes to work of any kind, there needs to be a fair exchange and often that takes the form of money. What is important is the message you are sending out to clients, you have to be honest regarding your time and energy.” DJ’s, actors, models – look at the reasons for doing free work, if someone is saying it will pay off then there has to be a tangible way of looking at that reward. For example if you are doing free plays to meet people and get agents to see you then you have to ask how many free plays have you done, how many agents have seen you? This can be a wake up call – if free work just gets you more free work, yes there is an element of getting your stripes but you need to really value your time and energy so you must check in with yourself. If someone is offering you a chance to do something then you must be able to guarantee that you get something from it eg a recording etc. Often the only people will benefit will be those taking your time. I discuss how it is probably more the energy than the time, when one is firing on all cylinders creatively then you are giving your all and then you need time to come down and relax. You cannot squander the energy as you have only so much energy. If you are involved in someone else’s stuff then you lose your own regularity and discipline on pushing forward your own creative efforts: you don’t make the calls you should, you don’t think where you need to take action as you are all consumed in someone else’s project. All my leads I am chasing with Londontown, I have missed London Fashion Week, I am behind the curve as my time, energy and focus has been somewhere else. Ryan says when he hears clients discuss free work, it alarms him how many people expect talented professionals to work for free. The gifts and energy that talented people have, one must be very selective about who one even engages with. As it can lead to a burn-out or no energy for other things then it is time to pull out. Always ask ‘Does this move me towards or away from my goal?” ‘What is the tangible benefits?’ You probably already have enough experience. I quote Jan Amsden, a very experienced actress and director, (her imdb) ‘You only do free or profit-share theatre if it is a character you have always wanted to play or an experience you want to have’ I then talk about my exhaustion, not knowing what to do next with the Londontown – I am tired just thinking about the next step. Ryan says he can hear I am emotionally exhausted and I need to make my well-being a priority. I will work better and be more focused when I am rested. If my To-Do list is making me over-stressed. He suggests make a list of three things I could do to make my health and well being a priority. Spend time really re-charging, not 3 or 4 weeks but a day or so. I know I need to start saying No to people, places and things i ‘should’ do. I need to be very selective on even which auditions I go to or classes, I need to not pre-book my life too far in advance or keep saying yes to helping others. I feel as I was doing a play I had a reason to say No, and now everything is catching up with me. I am not stopping myself from rushing around, Ryan says the first step in changing something is acknowledging[...] Podcast Marysia Trembecka Actress/Blogger/Writer & Performer of her own shows no no
