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.

I have worked with Kevin as I acted in his short ‘Chain Reaction’ alongside my friend Michael Brazil who had won best Supporting Actor at Madrid, acting in Kevin’s very first drama ‘Broken Wings’. Broken Wings was nominated for six awards at Madrid International Film Festival 2012. The nominations were Best script, producer, director, actor, supporting actor and best actress. He has subsequently won best short documentary award at St Tropez for ‘Poetic Emotions’ Q:Any advice for budding filmmakers or writers? Kevin doesn’t feel he is at a level to give anyone advice but working hard is really important. He has very talented filmmakers who make one film every couple years and then think about next one for two more years. ‘If you really like something you have to work hard at it. It is not good enough to make one film every three or four years. I understand if it is not ready but if you can afford it ,it is better to work hard and even with different people.’ He is working with 3 different groups of people and it works for him as well as produce other directors work in the future. Either listen to the podcast by pressing the button above or there is a loose transcript below. Kevin went to China for three weeks and made his first ever film, a documentary, which he loved for the editing. He then made an ad with a friend of his and ‘Broken Wings’ was the third film he made, and the first drama he had made. He knew most of the actors anyway, he had done a Method Acting course so he handpicked the best actors. I asked about self-doubt and why he felt it was good enough to send off to festivals. ‘You never know but I am generally good at identifying if something is rubbish and I am honest with myself.’ The ‘Poetic Emotion’ documentary he made he had the thought that if it was rubbish he would forget about it, and that was the plan and they (himself and Juliet the star) both agreed. ‘After editing you know if it is any good,’ St Tropez Film Festival ‘Poetic Emotion’ won the best short documentary award in 2013. He has been making films for 4 years, he maintains the awards are a fluke. He feels that he has been very lucky and worked with professional people, that helps you get nominations and thus work with better people. After ‘Broken Wings’ he made ‘Studio’ which was about making ‘Poetic Emotion’, ‘Last Letter’ a 3 minute film, and also ‘Chain Reaction’ that I (Marysia) am in. I got to hold the very heavy St Tropez international Winner Award Q: Does he think he is particularly good at giving judges of festivals what they want? ‘You can never afford to submit your film to every festival, but you have to decide where to send your film to give it a better chance i.e St Tropez because the documentary being about a French artist it would have a better chance. Broken Wings as there was a scene he was in that he had to speak in Spanish and Japanese, as was the actress speaking Spanish in it so he thought he would send it to Madrid as give it better chance’ Having been to a screening of ‘Broken Wings’ I thought the bleeding in from shots, the visuals, the more early Almadovar breaking the frame was more why he would have been nominated but of course neither of us know. Kevin has recently finished Salome, a psychological thriller and he was lucky to have twenty very professional people to work with. He started planning a year ago last summer to do rehearsals, costumes, makeups, to decide about every little detail. ‘ In the last few days before shooting we lost a location and without a location the pressure really escalates and makes me depressed but we managed to get an even better location.’ He is hoping to submit it to a few festivals, there is no deadline you can submit your film within the next 3 years anyway. ‘As long as the result is good, the pressure just happens during the shoot.” The Studio from Kevin Bisbangian on Vimeo.

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
