I came across Twyla Tharp’s ‘The Creative Habit’ while reading Tina Seelig’s ‘InGenius’ which I was reading for ‘A Crash course to creativity’.
Twyla Tharp is known as a dancer and choreographer. Terpischore is not the only muse that favored her. She is Clio’s darling too.
In the book Twyla refers to her reading as archaeological, reading back to the source. If you follow links then you are doing the same only to the degree of n, depending on how far you can afford to veer from what you are reading. And when you try to trace back in your head, the place where it all started you are doing another archaelogical trace.
PS: She has two other reading habits
“reading fat”
We were put through a skim version of this in high school where we had to read the biography, books, awards of an author. In the Hindi book, we were asked to write a letter to the authority of the Golden gate Bridge. That postcard is going to take Forever to reach the concerned authority.
The Twyla’s whole version of it is where you read related texts, contemporary books, commentaries, writer’s letters.
To reach that 3% I watched a youtube video of Twyla Tharp’s ‘In the Upper Room’
Oxford English Dictionary
Terpischore is from Greek ‘delighting in dancing’.
Clio is from Greek ‘Celebrate’.
PPS:
‘The Upper room’ is the light form of Cenacle, where ‘The Last Supper’ happened.
