This was a nice perspective on creative expression and routines. Tharp talks extensively about her career as a top choreographer, relaying the lessons she's learned along the way. Despite having no current interest in dance I enjoyed this. Her profession is unique and interesting, which serves to highlight how broadly applicable a lot of creative advice is. Luck, multitasking, art, preparation, loneliness, fear, copying, confidence, ruts, detachment, denial, and failure were some of my note topics.
