If suddenly there are no performance spaces left and the rehearsal rooms are full, there will be no inspiration or ideas. That’s normal. During this time, we will work on ourselves. Gain experience, practice at home, using what we already know. And never never never lose hope.
Anyone can experience it. Don’t worry if you suddenly encounter this unfortunate situation in your creative work. There are solutions for surviving this difficult time.
What should you do during a creative block?
This is the best time to lay low and gather strength. Study, improve your skills, and acquire new ones, while others are simply thinking and waiting for it to be over soon. Believe me, the knowledge and skills gained during a creative block, if applied correctly, can play a decisive role in the future.
What steps should you take to maintain your current level?
We all know that if we don’t develop, we deteriorate, so it’s crucial not to give up and to practice and rehearse in a more intensive manner. Imagine a musician who sits back and calmly watches everything unfold without doing anything. Yes, they will survive this difficult time, but after everything calms down and life returns to normal, such a person will be set back at least five years in their development. I believe we don’t want to be irrelevant in our vast labor market (whether it’s a metropolis or a provincial town—there’s always plenty of work).
For cultural workers and musicians, the best solution right now is to prepare and build strength to unlock their potential in the future.
Will the crisis return again and again?
Of course, but you won’t notice at all if you figure out a way to perform concerts online. Even if you can return to your favorite clubs and venues after all this, you’ll have another very promising direction.
Let’s look at Europe.
What’s happening in countries where both progress and crisis are progressing tenfold? It’s very simple—musicians are creating online bands, rehearsing remotely, and even in Germany and England, our colleagues are managing to organize their own online concerts (you’ll agree, this is the future).
As a great classic once said, ))) Don’t worry.
