This performance originally ran at the American Ballet Theatre in NYC and was a collaboration between American dancer, choreographer, and author Twyla Tharp and Latvian-American dancer, choreographer, and actor Mikhail Baryshnikov. Sorry the video is so crappy, idk why no one has remastered this performance

" The one thing all creative souls have in common is that they have to practice to maintain their skills. Art is a vast democracy of habit." #TwylaTharp #TheCreativeHabit #Art #Creativity

On creating & the tempting distraction that is background music.

(This is how I feel on the subject of playing music while painting. I need my quiet while creating.

Do you listen to music while making art? What kind of music? )
