This book is a refreshing and inspiring take on creativity, full of great anecdotes, quotes and practical exercises. One of North American’s legendary choreographers, Twyla Tharp, invites you into her creative life. It’s not about a light bulb moment and voila!, you’re done. It’s about creating the habit of showing up to do the work that gets results. A beautifully designed book with space to breath and write.

Twyla’s Wisdom + Carrie & Danielle’s Application

1. The key to art is practice. Commitment and accountability.
We show up everyday with a main objective: create.

2. What is the tool that feeds your creativity?
Truly listening and gathering information.

3. A tool is a gift you give yourself to make your job easier.
The best gift we ever gave ourselves is Dan Gibbons, our CEO and tech genius. He’s much more than a uh, “tool,” but you get the idea.

4. Work with the best.
We track down the best in their field. And sometimes we let time and cash flow limit us. We’re learning.

5. What is the spine? This is the statement that you make for outlining their intention.
Carrie & Danielle Inc. exists to Inspire Authenticity. Period.

6. Begin with the first strong idea.
As Danielle always says, “First thought, right thought.” We trust ourselves.

7. What’s the underlying theme – the motive for coming into existence?
We’re committed to being of service. We believe that beauty can change the world.
