Inspired by Gloria Gaynor setting up a TikTok account and singing along to her own 'I Will Survive hit whilst washing her hands, I am looking at the wise choices I can take right now.
As most of the world is in lockdown it is so easy to just keep checking the awful news and the mounting data or indeed try to limit it for mental health reasons and catch up on films, series and books we want to. I personally am determined to get some creative goals completed and I am encouraging myself and us all to pick a project and get it finished and out there in the next few months whilst this coronavirus keeps us all in quarantine. Having read extensively on happiness, one of the measures of absolute happiness is seeing yourself work every day towards a goal. Relative happiness is getting something you want and a temporary rush, but absolute happiness is something you can work towards every day. Even in the middle of stress and all the worry about finances and each other, a few words written, or a guitar practised can really help your mental health. The world needs art so much as do us artists need to keep moving it forward, one small step at a time.

Welcome to my podcast (there's a blog too!) on being creative, from that initial sparkle of the thought ‘I could’ to actually finishing it and getting your ‘art’ out there. My 'art' has got there, I have toured globally with my own shows and characters with sell-out runs from Australia to Edinburgh Fringe.

Aims of this podcast
I sometimes only seem to create when I have to create, under pressure or deadlines and then I moan about the rush. Ridiculous when I think about the fact I have chosen this creative life, or it has chosen me and I must follow my muse – often grumpily it seems! Or I do nothing and then feel guilty as I watch friends get with their own projects. Hence this podcast is about what techniques we can all use to get the work done and out there, no matter where you work full time as an actor, a choreographer or have a yearning to paint more over the weekends.
