Twyla Tharp Answers Readers' Questions

"From Jolene Chang:
'You've choreographed some of the best dancers in the world, such as Baryshnikov. How do you choreograph for people who are not primarily trained as dancers, such as Michael Arden and Thom Sesma?'

I choreograph for each person according to their strengths. "

she is such a dancer/choreographer. her terse answers, not just for my question, reminds me of the urban legend where she wrote for a government grant for funding for her dances, and hers was very short: "I make dances, not write grants". The rumor is she got the grant.
