I did five years of dancing concerts in absolute silence, no music, okay .

Reporter how about showing the audience that on stage . I thought of an even better idea, but ive never done it, is that youd have a piece on stage, but a headset where people could flip channels for themselves and they could put on their own music. Twyla tharp is an innovator and taking dance in a new direction based on classical ballet. Were using it to work with. Thats the difference. Obviously, when i make ballets for Ballet Companies its a different deal. And is her work today meant to appeal to a younger audience . I dont differentiate between audience and i learned theres always an audience and i dont make this for this age group or this demographic. I make for the audience. And so whats next . Well see when we get there. I never talk about whats next because its going to take a million times and that would make me a liar. I cant do that. Shes such a genius and you feel it when you talk to her. She had so much more to say when we talked and you can see more on our nbc washington app, just 29 twyla tharp in the search far.
