Express my Creativity

So… I’ve signed up for the monolog-festival in February! H is going to direct me, he likes my monolog (it’s about 5 minutes so not a major thing, but enough for me!) and so he’s going to help me with my performance. Scary, but also exciting and I’m happy that the excitement I feel about perfoming on stage, with my own text, is bigger than the fear I feel.
Fingers crossed…

I’m still thinking about participating in the Monolog festival in February, need to sign up before December 15th… I was reading some monologs and then thought ‘why not write one myself’? I had such an inspiration outburst (I’ve once written a script for a short film (5 minutes) which an director and actor thought was really good, so why not write something else?) so now I’ve got something on paper which I feel pretty confident about. I think it’s about 5 minutes worth of material, but the maximum for the festival is 20 minutes so that’s not too bad I guess.
Still needs a bit of correcting, rewriting, shaping, carving, making it even better, and then I guess I can sign up for the festival! Exciting…!

I’ve ordered (and received by mail already) ‘Wreck this journal’ so I can ‘force’ myself to think outside the box and be more creative in another way than I usually am. I have already started doing stuff, it’s so much fun! I’ll post what I’ll be doing with it, to remind myself of my creativity. I’ve also ordered ‘Creative License’ which is more about drawing, an area I should also explore more. I’m terrible at drawing but I feel it simply doing it will stimulate the creative brain. Looking forward to getting that one in the mail as well! Exciting!
Life is so wonderful when I actively express my creativity!

When can this goal go into the ‘I’m done’ section? I’m busy rehearsing for a play (The Cherry Orchard, by Tsjechov), so I’m very proud I dared to take that step. I’ve got my first photography exhibition on its way, and also enjoy painting and making music.
Would be lovely to take an art course of any sort, just to be with like-minded people, and to force myself to be creative on a regular basis.
So, well, maybe I should consider this one ‘done’ very soon!

I’ve decided that, as a part of expressing my creativity, I want to perform in a play, on stage. I’ve done so many things backstage, now it’s time to let the secret wish of being on stage myself, become reality.
I’ve applied for an amateur play (Tjechov’s The Cherry Orchard) but I’m not sure if I can audition for it. If it doens’t work out I’ll be attending a theater course and hopefully learn to be more confident on stage. And thus one day be in a play!

Being unemployed gives me an awful lot of time to do creative things… So besides frantically looking for a new job (sigh) I have been painting and making music, writing songs. Which feels good!

This is getting so much better, it’s better than it’s ever been! Well, to be honest, my creativity just sort of died during the four years with my last boyfriend, and I’m so glad it’s all coming back, that I’m actively working on it, and I never want it to die during a relationship again!

This is going well, and it feels good too! Made another painting today, played some guitar, did some singing in the process… I noticed that I get really relaxed while painting, my head empties, worries disappear, it’s all peace and quite whilst working on a painting… What a wonderful feeling!

I’m really exploding with ideas, so much input from the world around me and the world inside my head, that sometimes I don’t even know where to start! I’m so alive, it’s incredible! Now if I only could learn to properly and structurally express myself creatively…

Started writing again, mostly on the train on my way to work! It feels very good, I guess I really missed doing it!
