Creativity doesn’t happen on demand. When I was doing eight shows a week in Disney’s The Lion King, I was unwittingly putting myself in a creative rut. Not only was I doing the same show every night (sometimes twice a day), but I was doing the same warm up, eating the same meals, taking the same route to work, and cross-training in the same ways.
It happened! You got the gig, and now you’re getting ready to design the play. You think it’s going to be great… only suddenly it’s not. No matter how many times you read the script, you just can’t get any ideas. You start sketching and nothing good comes out. You are truly stuck, feeling a creative block.
