Response: “I Walk Into a White Room” Twyla Tharp

The portion of Twyla Tharp’s “I Walk Into a White Room” reading was an inspiring one. It basically is letting everyone know that anyone can be creative. That creativity is not a medal that’s handed out, but she is saying that some people are better with creativity than others. This is because people do not approach creativity the right way. Tharp states that through repetition/practice, time, effort, and devotion, that you will never be threatened by another blank page or canvas. After reading her novel you should not be afraid of walking into a white room ever again.

I procrastinate on about everything that I do. I know that it’s not good but I am making changes as we speak. This week I just learned that people who think they do their best work under pressure are living a facade, they don’t, or I don’t. Even though I must admit I have done some great task under pressure.

My daily routines are class, lunch, class, workout, down time, which is usually more work. I try to maintain a schedule and also manage a to do list. My sidekick is like my agent or manager, its keep me updated on everything that is on my agenda and that may be on the horizon.

My favorite part of the excerpt from Tharp’s reading was the “Touch of God” part. I honestly believe that I have this in a couple of skills. But a couple of other people who I think have that touch are President Barack Obama and LeBron James, just to name a few. President Obama has the charisma and the voice unlike any other President ever. When he speaks you just know that he was meant to be president. I know he puts in so many hours in preparing his speeches, but that kiss from God is what started him off. LeBron James came out the womb 5’6. He definitely has the kiss from God, he choose the right paths and became what he is today. Unbelievable training regiments and hard work helped him to make his place in history.
