There is no surefire way to make a correct choice, but I offer this: the only choice that is certain to be wrong is the one you don't make.

“Under the influence not I know of the hardest cider but of his own inner joy at life for a moment as it should be, as it was meant to be in his nature, Phineas recaptured that magic gift for existing primarily in space, one foot conceding briefly to gravity its rights before spinning him off again into the air. It was his wildest demonstration of himself, of himself in the kind of world he loved; it was his choreography of peace.”
― John Knowles, A Separate Peace

When I first began choreographing, I never thought of it as choreography but as expressing feelings. Though every piece is different, they are all trying to get at certain things that are difficult to put into words. In the work, everything belongs to everything else - the music, the set, the movement and whatever is said.
-Pina Bausch

I saw this when it came out and dislike most of it for reasons, but Renn Woods absolutely belts this tune and when else will you get to see Twyla motherfucking Tarp choreograph horses?

It takes skill to bring something you've imagined into the world: to use words to create believable lives, to select the colors and textures of paint to represent a haystack at sunset, to combine ingredients to make a flavorful dish. No one is born with that skill. It is developed through exercise, through repetition, through a blend of learning and reflection that's both painstaking and rewarding. And it lakes time.
– Twyla Tharp, The Creative Habit

“In 1973 Tharp choreographed Deuce Coupe to the music of The Beach Boys for the Joffrey Ballet. Deuce Coupe is considered the first "crossover ballet", a mix of ballet and modern dance.” Wikipedia

Blieben dann gleich noch bei der Hochkultur. Ballett ist ja immer am schönsten mit zusätzlichen Steptanzeinlagen, Achtzigerpop und Sowjetunionbashing.

"I don't think that scheduling is uncreative. I think that structure is required for creativity. ... Creativity is a habit, and the best creativity is the result of good work habits."--Twyla Tharp.
Happy Birthday, Ms. Tharp.

Post to mark the death of James Rado, co-lyricist of the Broadway hit Hair. Here, from Milos Forman’s film of the show, is Ren Woods’ performance of “Aquarius” with choreography by Twyla Tharp.
_______________________________
Aquarius
Lyrics by James Rado and Gerome Ragni; Music by Galt MacDermot
When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
The age of Aquarius
Aquarius!
Aquarius!
Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golding living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revalation
And the mind's true liberation
Aquarius!
Aquarius!
When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
The age of Aquarius
Aquarius!
Aquarius!
Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golding living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revalation
And the mind's true liberation
Aquarius!
Aquarius!
