Something you used to feel isn't there

You can still do the work. That's almost the worst of it. The technique is fine, you hit the marks, and nobody watching would tell you anything's wrong. But whatever made you do this in the first place has gone quiet, and you've been working around the hole where it used to be for longer than you'd say out loud.

You're not the only one and there's nothing wrong with you. I've had actors and writers come in stuck like this for ten years, and I've had agents and managers call me about "rebranding" somebody, which is usually this same thing described from the outside by people who can see it and can't name it. If the heart isn't on fire, none of it matters.

It usually comes from one of three places.

You've been away too long. Not away from working, away from the heart of it, until you can remember loving this and can't feel it.

The work blunted it. Some jobs don't want the art. They want the fast cheap version of it, and if you hand that over enough times you learn to hold the real thing back to keep it safe. Then you go looking for it one day and find you've hidden it from yourself too.

Life happened. Something ended, or somebody did, and the heart pulled back inside for perfectly good reasons. Your art was wired to that heart, so it went in there with it.

What we do

None of that gets fixed with more craft. You have craft. What's gone is contact.

Ten sessions, and it isn't technical work. We go back to what this was before it was a career and find out what happened to it. Sometimes what comes up is grief that never got to go anywhere, or something you decided about yourself a long time ago and never questioned, that made it safer to go quiet. And sometimes nobody has asked you in years what you actually want to make, and the question does most of it on its own.

We crack the shell that grew over it. Some of what's under there used to be on fire. Some of it has been in there the whole time and has never once been let out.

Who comes to me for this

Actors working on shows, and artists far enough along to feel the rut and want out of it. Also people who arrive after something in their life changed and took the art with it. Or you feel like you’ve been shelved.

It's the shortest thing I do and it's often where people start. Some finish and go back to work with it restored, which is the entire point. Some finish and realize they want to build something, and then we talk about what that would be.
