This one was a loan from Sara, and I've worked my way through it a couple of times over the past however long it's been - something like a year I think, probably longer. In a genre - broadly, books about creativity and how to practice or acquire it yourself - that I suspect is crowded and full of woolly platitudes, and which I've mostly avoided for that reason, it's refreshing in its combination of practicality and richness. The narrative sections are full of useful ideas and concepts - such as the concept of finding a work's 'spine' - and the exercises are illuminating, and the act of translating them from choreography and dance to other forms of creativity, such as writing, is itself helpful.
