from beethoven to woody allen - the daily rituals of the world's most creative people and what you can learn from them
rituals
co-create magazine
april 2013
by jessica grose 

Beethoven and Woody Allen bathed their way to genius. Dickens (and just about everyone else) walked. And you don't want to know how Thomas Wolfe got the juices flowing. Mason Currey, author of "Daily Rituals: How Artists Work" shares some of the surprising work modes of history's most creative.

The novelist Patricia Highsmith worked in bed surrounded by cigarettes, an ashtray, matches, a mug of coffee, a doughnut and a cup full of sugar. According to Mason Currey, the author of the entertaining and enlightening new book, Daily Rituals: How Artists Work, she also liked to have a stiff drink before she settled down to write, "to reduce her energy levels, which veered toward the manic."

DAILY RITUALS: HOW ARTISTS WORK
Daily Rituals chronicles the routines of genius-level artists, writers, composers, and philosophers--Beethoven, Kafka, Chuck Close, and John Cheever are among those included. Their quotidian schedules tended to be as regular as they were idiosyncratic. Currey says the most surprising ritual came from the early 20th-century writer Thomas Wolfe, who would unconsciously "fondle his genitals" while working because it "fostered such a "good male feeling" and "stoked his creative energies."

Even the most dissolute-seeming artists, like the painter Frances Bacon, who "lived a life of hedonistic excess, eating multiple rich meals a day, drinking tremendous quantities of alcohol, taking whatever stimulants were handy, and generally staying out later and partying harder than any of his contemporaries"--managed to keep a routine schedule of work, in his own libertine kind of way.

Here, Currey talks about the rituals that successful artists have in common, why enjoying your day job can help you with your personal output, and the importance of bathing on the creative process.

jay-z (sean carter) offers college scholarships for underserved students

sc
The scholarship is offered to students with 2.0 GPA, the formerly incarcerated... those who usually don't qualify for a scholarship.
 
If you are a high school senior, college student, and/or between the ages of 18-25 pursuing studies at a vocational or trade school, you may be eligible for the Shawn Carter Scholarship.

The Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation is unique in that it offers scholarships to single mothers, children who attend alternative schools, students who have earned a GED, students with grade point averages of 2.0 and students who have previously been incarcerated, etc., but desire a higher educational opportunity.

This group is generally not the recipient of college scholarships and is typically ignored by the Board of Education, points out the foundation's organizers.

All applicants must be a US Citizen and complete the on-line application no later than the published deadline date, which is May 31, 2013.

The Shawn Carter Foundation offers scholarship opportunities to any under-served student across the United States who desires a higher education. One of the key questions asked by the Foundation when students apply for a scholarship is: What are your plans to give back to the community?

president's message

Dear Arts Enthusiasts,

As the academic year draws to closure and we're all running in many different directions, I hope you'll take this opportunity to reflect on why we serve in the capacity that we do. I am grateful for the active involvement of all of our member schools. This topic was heralded at our most recent meeting of the Arts Schools' Network Board of Directors at New York University, Tisch School of the Arts.

That being said, in addressing the voice of our membership, I am advocating for representation of a high school guidance counselor on the ASN Board of Directors. If you're a high school counselor and inclined to serve in this capacity, please submit your letter of interest to our executive director, Kristy Callaway. Please also include a letter from your principal indicating administrative approval for travel and associated expenses. Nominations will be accepted through June 30, at which time candidates will be considered through both our Nominations Committee and our College and Career Committee.

I think we all agree that developing relationships between our member high schools and post-secondary institutions is paramount for students pursuing careers in the arts. It is essential we forge these connections in order to offer students choices in their educational pursuits. Therefore, it is important that we continue to grow our membership by recruiting new members and by sustaining our existing membership. So please make it a priority to renew your membership in Arts Schools' Network and consider inviting neighboring schools and institutions to join us.

Let me conclude by thanking all of you for a productive year for Arts Schools' Network. I am continually humbled and inspired by how we can collectively be a voice for arts education. Please take time this summer to relax and reflect on what it means to be an advocate and how we can all be better together than we are apart.

The Claire Trevor School of the Arts has proven itself to be a national leader in training emerging artists and performers since its establishment in 1965.  It was originally known as the University of California, Irvine's School of Fine Arts, but with its expansion of programs and focus over the years, it evolved into the School of the Arts.  In 2000, the School was named in honor of Academy Award-winning actress Claire Trevor and her involvement with the School and its students. 


claire3 The Claire Trevor School of the Arts is a national leader in training future generations of entertainers and technicians who will go on to electrify audiences in theatres, galleries and concert halls -- as well as in entertainment and technology-related venues throughout the world.

The School delivers a superb developmental experience, combining superlative artistic training with a top-ranked liberal arts education.  It is home to the departments of Art, Dance, Drama, and Music, in addition to a program in Arts and Humanities.  Undergraduate and graduate degree courses include extensive studio, workshop and performance experiences; theoretical and historical studies; and arts and technology practices. Our Drama Department has the only Ph.D. program in the country, run jointly with UC San Diego, and ranked in the Top 10 in the U.S.

The Claire Trevor School of the Arts provides excellent facilities to support artistic development and after-class life, including four theatres, a concert hall, three art galleries, the Beall Center for Art + Technology, electronic music studios, cutting edge costume, lighting, and scenic design studios, a stage production shop, digital arts labs, and a video production studio.  We are one of the only university campuses in the area to boast a Performance Capture Studio and a fully equipped Meyer Sound Lab.

joanna fox, creative writing teacher
booker middle school, room 130, sarasota, fl   

  

joanna fox In Room 130 we have kitchen tables, instead of desks, where meaningful conversations and improbable but not impossible ideas are discussed and developed under the soft glow of Christmas lights instead of harsh fluorescents. The first days of school are spent learning to brew a good cup of tea and to be of service to each other. There is plenty of time for filling out paperwork later. This first message of their importance as individuals is loud and clear.

My purpose is to nurture the hearts and souls of my writers through an appreciation for and participation in art, nature, and community. I encourage them to ask questions of themselves and their world and then seek the answers. I encourage them to look at the blue between the clouds and to look over what others overlook; that is where the artist, the writer, the musician and the dancer finds their inspiration and often their identity.

I use dance to inform word choices, while visual art connects word to image, music of all types inspires identification with mood, and aesthetic experiences at unexpected moments help define what it means to be alive to the possibilities of being involved in the work of art and being a work of art.

The experience of Room 130 is not limited to those on my roster. Each grade level gets their own Family Writing Nights where family and friends come together for a meal (the culinary art), various art experiences and writing. We have had three generations writing together. European guests and even other staff members have joined us for these evenings. My students see their parents grapple in much the same way they do searching for the best words and expressions. They hear their parents' poetic voice. They come to know each other in a new way.

'Difference-makers' are different. In order to make a difference, I have to be willing to be different, allow my kids to be different, and make them secure in that difference. The arts are my way of accomplishing that. Every imagination and its child are different. Each one seeks its own nourishment and expression. Each one seeks its own identity in Room 130.

curb

fast company magazine, leadership, march 28 2013


tepper by -- steven tepper is associate director of the curb center for art, enterprise and public policy at vanderbilt university and research director of the strategic national arts alumni project (snaap).
 

companies all across america are starting to see a critical talent gap as older employees retire. arts students may not have all the traditional skills, but they have the most important one: creativity. 

An estimated 10,000 Baby Boomers will turn 65 every day for at least the next 17 years, according to data from the Pew Research Center. And while many of them might choose to work beyond the traditional retirement age of 65, leaders everywhere are facing the same daunting issue: A great tsunami of Baby Boomer retirement is coming.

Though it's likely to reshape the workplace for years to come, many organizations say they aren't prepared for such an unprecedented brain drain. The projections of younger workers entering the workforce are even more shocking.

In fact, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, for the 10 years between 2010 to 2020, the number of workers between the ages of 16 to 54 will decrease by about 1 million--while the number of workers over the age of 54 will increase by more than 11 million.

Statistics as bracing as those have many organizations redoubling their efforts at retaining older workers.

But as a leader, your biggest human capital challenge is this: Where will you find enough next-generation workers with the skills required for success? This challenge is even greater when you factor in the nature of today's flexible and contingent labor market.

Consider this: Today's contingent economy has people moving constantly from one job to another, one type of work to another, one industry to a different industry. In fact, on average, a person between the ages of 25 and 45 will hold 11 different jobs in their lifetime. Thirty percent of us will work in more than 15 different jobs over the course of our careers.

Organizations far and wide--perhaps even yours--will compete intensely for workers who are adaptable, resourceful, and can quickly learn and apply new skills to a variety of challenges. Where can you find such workers?

One answer runs counter to much conventional wisdom: Ask an artist.

Artists know the world of adaptability and resourcefulness very well. In fact, according to an annual survey tracking the career trajectories of more than 65,000 artists from hundreds of arts schools, the Strategic National Arts Alumni Project (SNAAP), close to 60 percent of arts graduates hold more than two jobs at once, and approximately 20 percent have more than three.

What's more, regardless of whether they work in the arts or in other businesses, more then three-quarters of arts graduates say that critical thinking, creativity, and the ability to work with others are skills they both learned in school and use on a regular basis in their current work. Arts graduates are plucky and understand how to use their creative skills in a variety of settings.

It's common today to debate the comparative merits and economic value of various college majors, but those of us who track issues and trends around the nation's creative economy contend that much of the comparisons miss the mark in important and fundamental ways.

But don't just take me at my word: No less a force in global business than IBM found, in a global study of more than 1,500 CEOs from 60 countries and 33 industries, that the most important skill for successfully navigating our increasingly complex, volatile, and uncertain world is none other than creativity.

Is art school the next B-school? Hardly, though artists often possess the skills and temperament that business leaders regularly say are in short supply: creativity, resiliency, flexibility, high tolerance for risk and ambiguity, as well as the courage to fail.

i have a dream 50th anniversary tribute dance flash mob august 13 2013
dance the dream Dance the Dream is a world flash-mob dance to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the "I Have a Dream" speech. Everyone is invited to join us on August 28, 2013 to celebrate and live Dr. King's dream.

The mission of Dance the Dream is to create a shared life-affirming experience that galvanizes global solidarity for overcoming division and solving problems. It is about people from every corner of the planet coming together in Dr. King's "symphony of brotherhood" to inaugurate a new era of progress and possibility.

In cooperation with UNESCO's World Heritage Project, the dance sites represent the world's geographic and cultural diversity as well as our history and fragility as a global civilization.

Dance the Dream features original choreography from the world's leading dance companies. Everyone is invited to participate at a dance location nearest them.

Fifty years ago, Martin Luther King, Jr. had a dream for America where people would be judged by the content of their character rather than by the color of their skin, where little black boys and black girls would be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers. Fifty years later, America is no doubt a very different nation than it was in 1963, especially concerning the rights of African Americans and racial integration. Yet the widening disparity of wealth and deepening social tensions that precipitated the March on Washington are as topical today as they were in the sixties and suggest that the underlying conflicts and tensions in the American dream that erupted in the sixties, conflicts and tensions that had been festering since the Founding, remain unresolved.

Inspired by the Declaration of Independence and forged by the Black experience in America, the modern Civil Rights Movement was a philosophy of life designed to address these inconsistencies in American democracy. It was a philosophy of humility and hope, of pragmatism and idealism, and of individualism and the Beloved Community, indeed a second American revolution, that aspired to integrate the divided soul of the nation and inaugurate a new era of progress and possibility.

Fifty years later, as the nation and the world face daunting social, political, and environmental challenges that demand a "new" paradigm, a new vision, for how we can relate to each other as human beings, the timing could not be better to revisit The Dream Speech and the wisdom of the Civil Rights Movement.

The goal of THE DREAM@50 is to embrace the arts as a vehicle for bringing this history alive for students today in order to clarify the lessons of the past and to empower our students with the tools to make a difference and make the dream a reality.
