# The New Studio — Discussion Questions

1. Where in your work are you already making choices that change what happens next?
2. Which version of you arrives most reliably when the stakes go up — and what might it be protecting?
3. What are you and the people around you creating together that nobody consciously chose?
4. What are you guarding that might improve if somebody else were allowed to touch it?
5. What conditions help you create well? Which conditions do you create for other people?
6. What is one different move you could make tomorrow that gives the room something different to respond to?

These are companion discussion prompts, not quotations from the manuscript.
