I like this Twyla Tharp book about creativity. I feel as if she takes her own life experiences and techniques and relate it to being creative. She also shows how everyone is creative even if you think your not creative. I like how she shows how someone who likes to be structured and have everything in place and map out their day is being creative. I feel as if everyone can be creative and she does too. She refers to Mozart in her reading and i thought that it was very interesting. Everyone thinks that Mozart is this self profound genius and that he didnt have to work at all for his success when in reality he did. She also explained how he had this routine that he did everyday before he worked on his music. She states how creativity involves a skill and a skill involves exercises and without this you cannot be creative. She also talks about how people get scared of the idea of having to be creative. they usually feel like they cannot be creative or that it just too hard. I feel as if this is true because there are a lot of people who like things to be outlined for them and structured so that they know what to do and when to do it. This is just how the world works.
