NEW CLASS
After nearly a decade of mentoring artists and navigating my own perfectionism to bring creative projects like EMPIRE WAIST and The GynoKid to life, I’m excited to launch a new class for artists: Try Anyway - Creative Strategy for Perfectionists.
As perfectionists, our inner critic can keep our creative ideas as just that: ideas. Afraid to fail or panicked that we’re not “good enough,” we sit on that book idea or keep that script in a drawer, convinced it’s not good enough to be made.
Our inner critic may list every single way we'll fail. But it's up to us to try anyway.
In this 3-week course on Zoom, I will invite 10 artists of various specialties, backgrounds, and experience levels to join me in a safe and productive space to tackle how they speak to themselves during the creative process—and how to reframe that inner monologue to create with self-compassion and joy.
Artists are encouraged to bring one specific project they’re working on to apply their learnings to in real-time. They will receive concrete support, ideas, and encouragement about how to bring their creative projects to life, including the power of sharing their work with trusted members of their communities before it’s finished (*perfectionist gasp!*), navigating the mental gymnastics of the revision process, and guidance for pitching to the public and investors.
