What is scratching according to Twyla Tharp and how does she suggest we do it?
Twyla Tharp describes Scratching as the act of finding inspiration in the places you go and things you see and do. She suggests that people don’t try to scratch but that it will come upon you with you knowing. Just going about daily life and observing and seeing things from all directions will help scratching to occur.
Knowing how you work in the studio, what methods, techniques, or tricks can you see yourself using from Ms. Tharp's suggestions?
I plan on trying to fill my space with things room my room, things from my life and pictures from the places I’ve been and hope to go to help inspire me. I want to fill it with life so that when I look up I will see something I wasn’t expecting to and find hidden inspiration I was not expecting. I also requested to be by a window so that I would be able to look out it and see how things are always changing and see the people walking around and find inspiration from the seasons and nature and what people are doing.
She's talking about dance. What would scratching look like in the studio?
Like what I said I wanted to do in my area, scratching in a studio could look different for each artist but I believe it would most likely look like a collection of “things,” such as pictures, different mediums around so they are at hand when you feel inspired. I really believe that a window is crucial, the view is always changing and you never know what you will see. Looking out a widow in my opinion is the most effective way to have scratching occur. The changing and unexpectedness of nature, in my opinion, is the best place to find inspiration.
