CRW 245 The Creative Habit
In The Creative Habit, choreographer Twyla Tharp writes: “Destiny, quite often, is a determined parent. Mozart was hardly some naive prodigy who sat down at the keyboard and, with God whispering in his ears, let music flow from his fingertips. It's a nice image for selling tickets to movies, but whether or not God has kissed your brow, you still have to work. Without learning and preparation, you won't know how to harness the power of that kiss.” In this course, we'll get closer to harnessing the power of that kiss by studying literature of creativity, inspiration, and success by artists across mediums: dance, tightrope walking, painting, writing, and more. We'll study the genre of creative practice texts, examining our own creative practices in the process.
