Twyla Tharp

So far, when reading the Twyla Tharp book, I have found it very interesting. I really love how the author makes a connection with my reader by using a very informal type of speech. She also is creative when it comes to the print itself, for there are different colors, text fonts, and text sizes. I find it really interesting how she can know so much about being creative, but at the same time she can relate it back to each reader individually. Twyla makes it personal by sharing her own story, but in a way I personally as a reader relate. Maybe not in the sense of being a famous choreographer, but I know what it’s like to put effort into something that you dream about, and slowly making it a lifestyle for yourself. I really liked when the book had a list of questions for you to answer to go back to the first time that you can remember being creative. That part of the book really made me think. For some people, it is really hard to decide when their creativity first came to be. I know when I took that mini quiz, I couldn’t get past the first question! Did art class in school count? Maybe I was a super creative child at home, and I was just too young to remember. Overall, I am really enjoying the book so far. I like the interesting format and voice it was given, and I am excited to continue reading on.
