Do you ever wonder what drives the choreographer, the composer, the novelist, or the entrepreneur to create something new? Do you sometimes doubt that you are creative at all? Creativity is not just a gift for the chosen few, it is a process that can be learned. Join us as we explore the creative process across a wide range of disciplines to draw insights we can apply to our everyday lives. We will read The Creative Habit: Learn It and Use It for Life (Simon and Schuster Paperbacks 2003) by Twyla Tharp, one of America’s greatest choreographers. She describes universal principles applicable to everyone and provides some engaging and provocative creative exercises we will discuss in class. We will supplement our reading with selected videos, podcasts and TED lectures on creativity. Guest speakers from diverse disciplines will join us in class to share their craft. We also expect to have field trips to The Garage, Northwestern’s incubator lab for entrepreneurship, and to the Hubbard Street Dance studio to talk to creatives at work. You may find that you are more creative than you think.
