Environmental Inspirations: Generating Creativity from Everyday Surroundings

As an actor, my job is to bring a character to life, truthfully, and with resonance inventively compellingly. That's true of content creators of brand to brand storytellers. You have to make your message true to yourself, but also, compelling for an audience. Right now I happen to find myself away from home on location, which has its own challenges, because you're very much outside of your routine. You're very much away from the habit of being yourself. Which provokes a little bit of anxiety, the unknown, but it's also an exciting time because you're full of possibilities. You can curate your experience, you can deliberately choose the things that are gonna impact you and get you to a state of readiness. Of being present in the moment. For an actor, that means bringing the character to life and connecting with the other characters on screen, for content creator, it's it's finding the most resonance in your message and delivering that to your audience. You can use the uncertainty, to give birth to a new, unpredictable creativity. When you're able to break out of the patterns of habit, you move into a freedom. That freedom can be terrifying, but so is flying.
