Pull a joni mitchell and engage in arts that differ from your primary to inform it at a later time.
If you lean more toward visual arts try poetry, song writing, music making, acting/performances for the self, crochet, clay, claymation, videography, sound collection, whistling, discovering new sounds you can make etc.
Often when i want to create but i feel tired or uninspired i try to use still life or my surroundings— BUT If thats boring i ask myself a question and let my train of thought ramble -> connecting that rambling to my pen on paper
Honestly setting your inner critic to rest and creating things that are imperfect is actually incredible!
More often than not letting first drafts be final for a moment allows you to discover what you crave to create.

As someone who often falls into burnout and creative slumps with my art and animation, I find that taking a little step out of your comfort zone and trying something different really helps! It can be a different medium, a different style, etc. as long as you’re doing something creative.
Oftentimes what gets me out of my slumps is switching from digital to traditional art, and also doing a bit of writing! I always return reinvigorated and full of ideas.

I've been in similar situations in the past. The pressure of deadline is real and sometimes you get stuck at some points and you just can't finish the work. It's alright. Focus on your performance wholeheartedly and you'll find inspirations for your paintings as well.
Creativity comes from observation. If you try to force it, it will only hinder you. There's a thing called "diffused attention" where you keep the task in the back of your mind but you do something else. The simplest example is going for a walk when you can't solve a math problem. Creative burnout may not be solved by going on a walk but if you shift your attention to your performance, it will give you the space to allow your creative juices to flow. All the experiences during your performance, from rehearsals to the actual performance will serve as inspiration.
Hope this will help and best of luck for both!!

You don’t have to like everyone. Sometimes it’s okay just to say I don’t like you. It will let you feel a little lighter.
