Watch the Becoming a Creator online guitar lesson by Livingston Taylor from The Stage Performance Playbook
How did this all begin? How did we get to a place where we wanted to perform and what is a performance? I've troubled over this as I thought about where I should go and, and the fact is that I just gotta go to the beginning. Are you ready?
You were born, you appeared on the planet. There you were a little baby, brand new life, and you were so beautiful. You were so loved and then you turn 1, 2, 3 years old... now you start to become aware of a world around you, other people in that world, siblings, brothers and sisters and then you start getting a little older 4, 5, 6 years old and they ask the question "what would you like to be?" Oh, I'd like to be a fire person, a safety personnel, a nurse, a doctor, a lawyer, a mechanic, a astronaut, an airline pilot, and then you start taking in the world around.
Soon you realize you're going to have to leave the vertical integration of your family, people who were biologically predisposed to love you and move to the horizontal integration of your peer group, people who are not under that same constraint. what are you going to do that allows you to transition from your family and their unconditional love to your peer group who are only letting you in because of the service you might provide?
All of this is getting so good because now you looked around and you thought to yourself, "How am I going to be of service to my peers so I can be included in included in with the people I'm going to live with, I'm going to work with, I'm going to be friends with, I'm going to struggle with, I'm going to marry and mate with?"
So now you've looked around and you saw these things you might do, but you saw something very particular, you saw how creators were treated.
Airline pilots are treated well, doctors are treated well, but nobody's treated better than creators. Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Beyonce, Carol King, the list goes...and you thought to yourself maybe I could be my peers creator, maybe I could make things that are so compelling and beautiful that I will be of service to them and they will allow me to be one of their creators and I will live in that very special place reserved for creators.
It's a great idea, a good job choice, you can do this. That's what this video is all about. So how do we create and then deliver it? because there's competition for that. How are we going to deliver our creativity in a way that will be compelling to our peers? We can do this! And if you think it's going to be fun, you have no idea. I've lived my life as a creator and it has been as magical and wonderful as you ever thought it was.
