Dance Legend Twyla Tharp

(event)
$12-$18

Skip out of work early and make the trek down to Palo Alto for this very special event. Famed dance choreographer and author of The Collaborative Habit and The Creative Habit Twyla Tharp will talk collaboration for Commonwealth Club. She'll be discussing how good collaborators are made and how collaboration is slowly replacing competition in business and education. You'll also be privy to the scoop on what it was like to work with artists like Mikhail Baryshnikov, Billy Joel and Elvis Costello.

The Tony Awards broadcast isn’t really a must-TiVo event. Watching TV about theater might not be exactly like dancing about architecture but its pretty off-the-mark too. After all, the theater may be not dead yet, but it ain't as popular as Netflix.

Three stellar dance companies bring Twyla Tharp's vision to Berkeley this fall.Next year, Robert Cole will retire after more than two decades as director of Cal Performances at UC Berkeley. But before he does, the man who took the once-regional performing-arts venue and turned it into an international stop for the world’s top artists has scored a final coup: luring the Joffrey Ballet, American Ballet Theatre and Edward Villella’s Miami City Ballet to Berkeley this fall to present works by iconic choreographer Twyla Tharp.
