Opening Your Ladders has required me to learn a lot of new skills, and that’s been thrilling. It’s also required me to rethink a lot of strategies. Again, thrilling. Scary and exhausting, but thrilling.
In my writing life (I write crime fiction), I remember sitting next to a well published author at a character workshop. I mentioned that I was surprised to see her there. She told me that she always sat in on workshops, and in doing so she always picked up a new idea. It helped keep her fresh. A light bulb went off.
As a performing artist, I want to encourage you to continue to build your skills no matter where you are on your career path. If you’re interested in building skills towards producing your own work, or you want to ground your career with some business planning, then Your Ladders has been created for you. Look at the Footing Your Ladder course--it provides the planning skills you’ll need.
What other skills can you develop? If you’re a singer, have you taken acting classes? Actors, have you taken dance lessons? Playwrights and directors, would a scene study class be helpful in connecting you to the artist work?
Are there other skills you can add to your toolkit? Stage combat? Movement? New techniques?
I’m going to encourage you to do three things.
The world needs you to do your work. Keep building your skill set, get better at your craft, and dream the big dreams. Your Ladders may be able to help you reach them.
