Beware of Hype and Stay Focused and Learn to Be Creative, Says Dance Great Twyla Tharp Tywla Tharp is the most celebrated choreographers of her generation. She happens to be a very compelling writer on the subject of motivation and creativity. Her book The Creative Habit is handbook in personal discipline and creative growth. Twyla is evangelist for her body of work. In addition to choreographing new ballets, she is motivational speaker at organizations including NASA and GE. She told me that creativity must be a personal undertaking -- and it can't be constructed for fame and fortune -- it needs to done as serious and honest work -- and if it succeeds, the money and accolades will come.

The Online Video Revolution will be Our Legacy -- Watch Twyla Tharp Dance with Me!!!! I believe that the implications of the revolution in online video are far more significant than the temporal entertainment and information we consume. All this video is becoming an archive, a collective legacy of our society and times -- for better or for worse. Sure, a great deal of community-generated video will end up in some digital trash heap, but much will exist well into the future. This living archive will be both a historical legacy and a guidebook to future generations. I had the extraordinary opportunity to spend time earlier this month with one of the most celebrated performing artists our time, choreographer Twyla Tharp. In my interview, Twyla explains why video has become the "text" or the language of dance. She's been taping her dances since the sixties. She sees her video archives as means to hand down her dance to future generations. I see an analogy with Twyla's vision of video as a historical notation -- and the current video revolution which will become our legacy. Our history is being published for the future right now.

In planning my sessions with Twyla we were going to tape a rehearsal of two principal dancers from the Seattle's Pacific Northwest Ballet -- Twyla is choreographing a new piece for the highly regarded dance company. Well, the night before our session, she called me on my mobile and said, "Andy, the taping session with the dancers won't work, so you'll dance with me." I was stunned. She told me to remember to breathe, follow her and "don't step between me and the camera." Well I gave it my best try -- although I did step in front of her and she scolded me. It's pretty funny.

Look, you can't deny it, you need to stay in shape for your health. Sure, it's easy to zone out at the computer, surfing through at all those great clips on YouTube, but a regime of exercise is essential. Being fit also means being productive and creative in your work. These are the messages that Twyla Tharp, the celebrated choreographer, is sharing with all of us in this appearance on Beet.TV. I've spent some time with Twyla and she's getting ready to preach the gospel of physical wellness to aging boomers like yours truly through online video. She's got an eclectic approach that incorporates yoga, Pilates and her own, stylized brand of dance movement - she calls it the "squirm." Try it!

Stephen Tharp the famed American Concert Organist has just recorded a benefit CD to help raise $200,000 for the complete restoration of the pipe organ at the Parish of Our Lady of Refuge in Brooklyn, NY. This Video was filmed March 10, 2007 at the console of the church's 25 rank Kilgen, Opus 5163. This instrument was built to the design of Charles M. Courboin. Construction was started on the organ in September of 1933 and completed on November 30, 1933 "except console-awaiting shipping instructions". It was shipped to the church in January of 1934 and the church was dedicated in June of 1934. On Monday March 12, 2007 the Organ Clearing House removed the organ from its chambers to protect its 1800 pipes and mechanism from harm while major structural repairs are carried out in the organ chambers and to the tower of the church. During the time the organ is out of the chambers (stored in large wooden crates on the church property) the parish must raise funds to re-leather the entire organ and clean all of the pipes in the organ (for stability of tone and tuning). This work will be carried out by the Ohio firm of A. R. Schopp's Sons, Inc in conjunction with James Konzelman and the Organ Clearing House. The parish is working hard to raise funds to accomplish this, but the parish is seeking outside funds to augment its fund raising activities. Once fully restored this organ will last many generations. Can you help us restore and save a pipe organ? If you are interested in helping and have questions please contact the Pastor, Fr. Michael Perry at the rectory. Our Lady of Refuge Church, R.C. 2020 Foster Avenue Brooklyn, NY 11210 718 434 5620 On line help can be given through: http://www.ndnyc.org/ndnyc/ndnyc/our_lady_of_refuge_organ_repair.html Special Thanks to James Konzelman for his expert tuning on Saturday and dedication to this project.
