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/2014/02/26/the-wonder-of-costume/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/02/26/the-wonder-of-costume/#respond Wed, 26 Feb 2014 14:00:27 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=2702 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/02/26/the-wonder-of-costume/feed/ 0 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/07/03/why-you-must-stay-true-to-yourself-in-art/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/07/03/why-you-must-stay-true-to-yourself-in-art/#respond Wed, 03 Jul 2013 19:03:17 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=1243 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/07/03/why-you-must-stay-true-to-yourself-in-art/feed/ 0 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/05/08/how-to-be-a-successful-working-actor-marysia-ken-collard-podcast/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/05/08/how-to-be-a-successful-working-actor-marysia-ken-collard-podcast/#comments Wed, 08 May 2013 14:30:26 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=568 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/05/08/how-to-be-a-successful-working-actor-marysia-ken-collard-podcast/feed/ 4 0:28:32 In this ‘Love Your Creativity’ podcast Marysia interviews Kenneth Collard, a real life successful working actor who has a huge CV from being in Albert Nobbs, Anna Karenina to many many TV series and commercials.

In the interview we discuss auditions, showreels, research and the mental approach necessary to becoming a working actor and earning a living as one. The Main Takeaway The starting point is that it’s absolutely possible, there is no reason why, if you are half decent as an actor, there is no reason why you cant get consistent work. Show note highlight  – (please note these are not a transcript but just some of the highlights. The full transcript of the podcast is below) The fact that  95% of actors are not working did not worry Ken. He made a decision 13 years, that there is no reason why he should not be part of the 5% and started on a journey to change that. The starting point is always that it is possible to earn a living from what you do and what you love. It is tough and difficult and when you get work there are always a new set of challenges, broadening your capacity, deepening your work and bringing something more wonderful than you have before. If you strive to create something amazing it will always be challenging and that’s a good thing and make you raise your game. His favourite quote is by Daisaku Ikeda, SGI President,  the lay organisation of Nichiren Buddhists “Press on, nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not, nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not, unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education alone will not, the world is full of educated derelicts. Perserverance and determination alone are omnipotent”   FULL TRANSCRIPT Hi this is Marysia for loveyourcreativity.com, this week’s interview is with Kenneth Collard. Ken is not only a friend of mine but a real life working actor. Recent film credits include Albert Nobbs and Anna Karenina and on television he’s all over it from Skins, to The Borgias, Cuckoo. He’s done some forty-five or fifty commercials over the past 10 years as well. He really gives some great advice the big takeaways, “you’ve got to come from a place you’ve known you can make a living out of this”. This is really inspiring. I also spent a lot of time asking him how to basically do more television and film. Hope you all enjoy.   Marysia: Hello, Ken   Ken: Hello, Marysia.   Marysia: This is Marysia for loveyourcreativity and I’m with Ken Collard, who’s a friend of mine and an actor. I do talk about you to the other actor friends of mine particular when they’re having problems not working. I said “you need to meet Ken, he’s a proper working actor.” What are you working on at the moment?   Ken: I’m working on two projects at the moment. One is a film called The Fitzroy. We’ve done the first main principal photography, finished that last week. We have to pick up in a few days or the end of the month. I’m also working on new tricks for the BBC. Those are my two projects at the moment, just waiting to hear on a third if I could squeeze that in and possibly more after that.   Marysia: You’re in Cuckoo as well. Are they doing the 2nd series of that now?   Ken: Yeah. The 2nd series was commissioned quite early on; the difficulty always is trying to get everyone’s availability. So yeah, in principal, this is the 2nd series.  It ran about September-October, we stopped filming on that but it really depends on some folks availability, if they can work from September-October then that’s fantastic. Andy’s waiting to hear on the pilot, then fox gets commissioned for a series if it does then we’ll shoot on that time so we can make even more. The idea is around September or October.   Marysia: When I spoke to you recently you were doing something for channel 4 trying to look at script for the next day for something else. I know myself I kind of get busy but I don’t get busy like you [...] Podcast Marysia Trembecka Actress/Blogger/Writer & Performer of her own shows no no https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/05/01/10-tips-from-a-casting-director-agent-a-working-actor/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/05/01/10-tips-from-a-casting-director-agent-a-working-actor/#comments Wed, 01 May 2013 20:47:39 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=472 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/05/01/10-tips-from-a-casting-director-agent-a-working-actor/feed/ 7 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/04/21/just-do-it-dont-care-what-anyone-thinks-marysias-podcast-with-liz-ranken/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/04/21/just-do-it-dont-care-what-anyone-thinks-marysias-podcast-with-liz-ranken/#comments Sun, 21 Apr 2013 09:12:07 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=326 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/04/21/just-do-it-dont-care-what-anyone-thinks-marysias-podcast-with-liz-ranken/feed/ 7 0:31:15 Liz Ranken is a friend of mine, but yet again when I start to delve into the backstory and processes of my successful creative friends I am always amazed by their focus and achievements but most of all, their unrelenting focus forward on creating no[...] Liz Ranken is a friend of mine, but yet again when I start to delve into the backstory and processes of my successful creative friends I am always amazed by their focus and achievements but most of all, their unrelenting focus forward on creating no matter what happens.   Liz Ranken, RSC/DV8/Shared Experience Movement Director, painter (@nationalportraitgallery), yoga queen vine.co/v/bUgFDKerVhF — Marysia Trembecka (@MarysiaT) April 19, 2013     Liz Ranken is among many things -a RSC Associate Artiste. Imagine getting a letter from the Royal Shakespeare Company saying ‘I hope you consider the RSC a good creative home for your work’ – Movement Director over 50 RSC Productions A Portrait Artist. Her painting of Michael Boyd is in the Portrait Collection of the RSC and the archive at the National Portrait Gallery, despite starting painting for the first time since school while Movement Directing at the RSC. Associate Artiste at Shared Experience Having given up the arts at school and then started taking ballet lessons while reading biology she went to become a Physical Theatre Performer and Choreographer in Award winning groundbreaking DV8 ’My Body Your Body’ & ‘Deep End’ and with Shared Experience in such shows as ‘Mill On The Floss’ Asthanga Yoga queen Some links to DV8 DV8 Deep End that Liz did DV8 Your Body My Body These are some pictures she has done of Patrick Robinson who is a very established actor. He was cast as understudy for Romeo for the RSC in 1980 as landmark casting and has had a 24 year span in ‘Casualty’. He also had great success in BBC ‘Strictly Come Dancing in December 2014 getting to the last five. The big take away from this  is “Just do it don’t care what anyone says. If it feels like a passion just do it cos you get better by doing it.  Go with repetition and try something again and again or in different ways but you learn by repetition” She shares Tips on believing in yourself & your creativity “Just do it .. be driven by the spiritual’, Write affirmations before starting your work eg “I paint to my highest level so I might serve and inspire humanity’ “ I do 25 affirmations  before i do anything.” “Whenever i don’t do the affirmations the difference is huge. it’s the ego thats stops so many of us, and sabotaging our work.” These affirmations settle the ego down and bring her higher being up into more elevated state and in the bliss of the moment “Failure… i dont read reviews.” Full Transcript Follows Hi this is Marysia at loveyourcreativity.com, this podcast interview is with Liz Ranken who is an everything, a movement director, a painter, a physical theatre practioner, a writer. Not only does she create in many ways but she’s also hugely successful in all of these areas. One of her paintings is in the National Portrait Gallery. She has worked at over fifty productions at the Royal Shakespeare Company and has been involved in huge amounts of ground breaking theatre and dance work in the UK. She really is legendary and wonderful. She talks about all of this in this podcast and her spiritual practice, how she really gets her ego out of the way, how she has explored doing affirmations and proper physical and spiritual warm up before she starts work which has had a huge impact on her ability to create. Her big takeaway that she keeps coming back to is “just do it, don’t care what others say. If it feels like it’s a passion, do it because you’re going to get better at doing it, so do it”. Now Seth Godin in his startup school podcasts says when he wishes when he first started working as a freelancer that he would’ve asked each client at the end of each job to give him a testimonial which he could then laminate, put in a folder and build a body of work and show him new clients. Liz has an amazing testimonial.   I said to Liz that I’d like to start the show by asking if there was any real memorable moments for her that made her think she made it [...] Fun, Inspiration, Motivation, Podcast Marysia Trembecka Actress/Blogger/Writer & Performer of her own shows no no
