This week we look at how to deal with having negative creatives and people around me. Here are some of the highlights of his advice for moving forward this week (this is not a full transcript) Ryan’s work is based on the belief that the way you think about yourself and your work has a huge impact on your success levels. I talk about being surrounded by negative artists. I was in a few casting classes last week and the negativity that come from other actors talking constantly about how hard it is is really depressing. I found their low life state made me angry and annoyed. I wanted to say to people ‘Come on, strive harder’ Ryan wanted to know when I heard all this negativity, how did I deal and react? I repeated how the casting directors say that they get thousands of CV’s for a TV job and only call three to four people in . (Note this is in the UK, in the USA they may call hundreds in for each role). Hence if you do get the call for an audition you have a very good chance of booking the job as they think you can do the job which is why you are being called in. The other actors kept telling bad and hard luck stories. Ryan talks about when people say ‘ I am just being honest or negative’ he always think ‘No, you are being negative’, there will always be positive and negative sides to every experience and it is about choosing what side you chose to focus on. He thinks it is dangerous to hang around people who are negative, it can overinfluence you. He always suggest to listen to those people who have the results you want. It is about saying ‘That might be true for him but not necessarily for you’. I mention Ken Collard and his primary focus is ‘I can do this, I can make this happen, I can make a living in this industry’. I am a great believer in doing, making contacts, networking gracefully. Ken Collard Podcast Ryan says he loves the fact that I say ‘I refuse to sit there and be a measly actor’, sitting there complaining and telling yourself it is going to be hard’ you make it hard for yourself. He mentions the book E-squared, where she talks how your brain chooses what to think, if things contradicts the way you think about your life it then ignores them. Marianne Williamson, ‘The universe is hugely abundant, you might be sitting next to your would be life partner in a cafe but if you are too busy thinking how life is hard then you may not notice that he is smiling at you‘. The same applies for work. Life does not have to be difficult and hard but can be brilliant. Ryan likes coaching me as I already seem to know to keep positive and how my mind influences my life. However I mention the DHL nightmare today where I have had to sit in all day (after waiting in all day yesterday and popping out for 20 mins where I then missed them) and had wait and stay in for a delivery all day from 8am. I rang at 5pm asking where is the delivery given, they won’t give me even a morning or afternoon time, just office hours, it is now 5pm. I could have done more work but had friends pop round as I couldn’t go out, I have not got to the gym and feel useless and as if I have wasted my day. I have been very busy for months and am about to hit a quiet period. Ryan asks me how I am feeling about coming up to a quiet period and do I have a sense of guilt? I mention all the work I have been doing but not had that many casting directors in. I refer back to when Ryan said when it comes to work and free work you have to find ways to quantify its worth. Podcast on saying no to free work I keep hearing people aka casting directors say you have to be in something to be seen, and new work is better. However I then get well it needs to be a certain fringe venues, ideally a new play, a great director[...] Actors, Casting, Podcast Marysia Trembecka Actress/Blogger/Writer & Performer of her own shows no no https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/11/03/how-to-get-casting-directors-to-find-you-backstage-day-3-nanowrimo/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/11/03/how-to-get-casting-directors-to-find-you-backstage-day-3-nanowrimo/#respond Sun, 03 Nov 2013 15:02:41 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=1881 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/11/03/how-to-get-casting-directors-to-find-you-backstage-day-3-nanowrimo/feed/ 0 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/11/02/the-importance-of-getting-started-and-loving-rejection/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/11/02/the-importance-of-getting-started-and-loving-rejection/#respond Sat, 02 Nov 2013 13:27:42 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=1847 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/11/02/the-importance-of-getting-started-and-loving-rejection/feed/ 0 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/09/15/how-to-deal-with-free-work-learning-to-say-no-taking-care-of-yourself/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/09/15/how-to-deal-with-free-work-learning-to-say-no-taking-care-of-yourself/#comments Sun, 15 Sep 2013 18:23:06 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=1705 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/09/15/how-to-deal-with-free-work-learning-to-say-no-taking-care-of-yourself/feed/ 2 0:38:15 Ryan Lock/Marysia Podcast coaching session 5: In this Fifth coaching session podcast Ryan continues to coach me on how to market myself and my work, achieving my big goal, looking at my mindset and tackle my limiting beliefs and overcome procrastina[...] Ryan Lock/Marysia Podcast coaching session 5: In this Fifth coaching session podcast Ryan continues to coach me on how to market myself and my work, achieving my big goal, looking at my mindset and tackle my limiting beliefs and overcome procrastination. 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 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/09/14/georgina-sowerby-on-acting-devising-being-an-inspirational-theatre-maker/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/09/14/georgina-sowerby-on-acting-devising-being-an-inspirational-theatre-maker/#comments Sat, 14 Sep 2013 11:37:03 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=1698 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/09/14/georgina-sowerby-on-acting-devising-being-an-inspirational-theatre-maker/feed/ 4 0:37:33 Georgina Sowerby is a successful actress, having worked at the National, the Royal Court as well as on various TV and film projects and is the co-founder of Dirty Market Theatre.

Podcast interview with some highlights below. She is not a trained producer, she learns as the piece demands. However production is very much part of making your own work. She talks about the devising process of Dirty Market Theatre. Make a mini performance to show your ideas, making little tableaus and things have strange connections. One of the questions was ‘What is your favourite fairy tale for now’ and out of that they have devised a fairy tale for adults. Fairy tales are gory, dark and looking at the older fairy tales is very different from the saccharine of todays childrens’ programmes. We talk about devising, establishing the through line of the narrative, how an audience and critics likes to have a central message. In contemporary art we do not expect a narrative but in theatre the audience is very educated. Oxbow Lakes is immersive in that the audience is promenaded and also involved emotionally in the characters, using three different spaces within the previously unused for theatre site. We mention PunchDrunk and YouMeBumBum Train. Georgina and her business and life partner Jon Lee are co-directors in Dirty Market Theatre and we discuss how you work out the schedule of family and creating art. The joy of making your own stuff is because you get creative control and as an actor sometimes you are not meant to have creative ideas. Anyone in the space be it set designer, lighting or actor, all their views are valid. Dirty Market call themselves ‘theatre bricoleur’, French for DIY, so using music, art, philosophy and you tinker with it rather than having a grand scheme. Picasso says )paraphrased) ‘You have a concept for a painting, but the moment the pink paint hits the canvas, the painting speaks to you” So a framework is good but you need to be able to move within it. Robert Altman ‘Pick any 5 great moments in my films and they all will be mistakes’ We talk on how mistakes work, and how a player is missing ‘the audience’ before you start the show. The live aspect. Jon Lee wants to make a film but Georgina is in love with the live performance but is reassured that it will be ‘arthouse’ I have learnt in both Jon and Georgina’s classes about Bacchus, the muse. We talked about moving from being a successful actress to devising. Georgina went to Drama Centre but then assisted James Neale-Kennely She loves the empowerment of emplying the resources in the room, and being inspired by group work. She has been very inspired by Anne Bogart’s work and being delighted with what people to bring.   How has she kept the fire going within art and theatre? Georgina replied ‘Being really stubborn and having the realisation that she is not constitutionally able to wait for someone to allow her to be creative. Her background is when you want to go and paint you just do so, not wait for someone to tell you. She loves making opportunities for herself and others. She has the wonderful analogy of a chick pushing through the egg and how it needs aggression to live. Her determination is about having a choice about your life. This is why she loves teaching adults and opening their lives and hearts. I talk about the Meissner high when adults finally feel free to express She loves being an actor but hates the business of being an actor with sending CV’s out, Shirley Henderson ‘Eventually you have to decide what makes you happy’ and Georgina has found another way of doing it, by A designer, Sutra Gilmour ‘Don’t try to be original, be personal” OXBOW LAKES 4th – 28th September ’13 Wednesday – Saturday at 7:30pm For tickets and more information: www.dirtymarket.co.uk Georgina and Jon do Rough Classics, workshops on devising – link here http://www.dirtymarket.co.uk/here About Marysia and Love Your Creativity I blog at least three times a we[...] Podcast Marysia Trembecka Actress/Blogger/Writer & Performer of her own shows no no https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/08/24/londontown-the-airplay-remix-is-here-please-listen-share/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/08/24/londontown-the-airplay-remix-is-here-please-listen-share/#respond Sat, 24 Aug 2013 01:11:30 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=1622 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/08/24/londontown-the-airplay-remix-is-here-please-listen-share/feed/ 0 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/08/20/why-you-must-be-your-authentic-self-ignore-all-obstacles-distractions/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/08/20/why-you-must-be-your-authentic-self-ignore-all-obstacles-distractions/#comments Mon, 19 Aug 2013 23:31:53 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=1590 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/08/20/why-you-must-be-your-authentic-self-ignore-all-obstacles-distractions/feed/ 3 0:43:24 ‘Why you must be your authentic self & ignore all obstacles & distractions” In this third coaching session podcast Ryan James Lock continues to coach me on achieving my big goal, looking at my mindset and what is holding me back plus keeping[...] ‘Why you must be your authentic self & ignore all obstacles & distractions” In this third coaching session podcast Ryan James Lock continues to coach me on achieving my big goal, looking at my mindset and what is holding me back plus keeping me accountable. He gives me advice and focus on what I, and thus you, fellow listening creatives, can do to promote a show, exhibition or event they are working on as part of the selling of their own work. (The arrow above plays the podcast or you can catch it on my iTunes Love Your Creativity Channel) Here are some of the highlights of his advice for moving forward this week (this is not a full transcript) I must re-look at myself as a human being. It is important for me to know I am redefining how I am seeing myself. Homework – Ask myself a la ‘Byron Katy’ – ‘everything in your life is a story you are telling yourself’, ‘who would I be if I changed the story I am telling myself.’ Say to myself: This is the new life I am creating for myself, these are new things I am going to be experiencing so actually I am going to support myself by seeing myself in that way. I am in control of how I see myself, and see myself as capable, talented. Me being more than who I am can cause issues, especially in the UK where modesty is seemed a positive thing. Ryan says that being authentic and when you show up unapologetic especially as a woman, it can make people uncomfortable if they are not happy with where they are at. When you show up and you are direct, completely authentic and say things, and you are emotionally naked, it can cause issues with people. Take a look at how when you are being yourself, how the people around you are reacting. When the magic happens is when you are completely yourself, you resonate with people in a very different way. Ryan talks about owning the fact that I am being talented, maybe I do know what I am doing. It is arrogant to say that you are not talented and hide, you just hold yourself your back and it does not help you or the world. Its important to know ‘I am talented and in demand, and I deserve to be rewarded with tangible results’. The past has no power over me unless I give it power. The rest is background noise, just carry on! Practise this week on not apologising about being myself. Not only is it ok to be authentic but it is necessary to succeed. I discussed how busy I am in all other areas in my life and getting busier but I do not want to give up the dance single. Ryan says that when we make a change in our life what comes up is not inner resistance as much as adjusting to the new level I am at. So the more work I am doing towards my art, new habits need to be formed as my time is getting squeezed more. In moving ahead all my life is moving forward, things keep becoming more important and by me making things happen, life is getting busier. Ryan said ‘every new level has a different level’, often when we are on a journey you create movement and now everything is moving forward which is great but now it requires maintenance, focus and keeping going. There will be uncomfortable times at the start when we are pushing through barriers. Time is proving to be my issue. Ryan said it is ok to reschedule things and adjust things to prioritise, find a sense of balance. Look at the fact that I am on the road to getting what I want and juggling things, in wanting the ‘body’ or the ‘car’ you cant just get it without having to maintain. As I am moving all my little projects forward, everything is moving forward.   I reported that I am still trying to find my target audience people so I can ask where they find their music and download it. It isn’t proving as easy as I thought. I have had some good success in moving forward. Ryan says that one of the great things about putting yourself out there, it seems then that the biggest thing is taking the first step, but then distractions come along. Ryan says it is always good to work on the things that[...] Londontown, Marketing, Podcast Marysia Trembecka Actress/Blogger/Writer & Performer of her own shows no no
