About the book >.>.> CREATIVITY is not a gift from the gods says Twyla Tharp bestowed by some divine and mystical spark. It is the product of preparation and effort and it’s within reach of everyone who wants to achieve it. All it takes is the will- ingness to make creativity a habit an integral part of your life: In order to be creative you have to know how to prepare to be creative. In The Creative Habit Tharp takes the les- sons she has learned in her remarkable thirty-five-year career and shares them with you whatever creative impulses you follow-whether you are a painter composer writer director choreographer or for that matter a busi- nessperson working on a deal a chef developing a new dish a mother wanting her child to see the world anew. When Tharp is at a creative dead end she relies on a lifetime of exercises to help her get out of the rut and The Creative Habit contains more than thirty of them to ease the fears of anyone facing a blank beginning and to open the mind to new possibilities. Tharp’s exercises are practical and immediately doable for the novice or expert. In “Where’s Your Pen- cil?” she reminds us to observe the world-and get it down on paper. In “Coins and Chaos” she provides the sim- plest of mental games to restore order and peace. In “Do a Verb” she turns your mind and body into coworkers. In “Build a Bridge to the Next Day” she shows how to clean your cluttered mind overnight. (LL)
