Creativity: The Perfect Crime

Creativity: The Perfect Crime
- Creativity: The Perfect Crime
In the vein of The Creative Habit and The Artistâ€™s Way, a new manifesto on the creative process from a master of the impossible.
Â
Since well before his epic 1974 walk between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, Philippe Petit had become an artist who answered first and foremost to the demands of his craftâ€”not only on the high wire, but also as a magician, street juggler, visual artist, builder, and writer. A born rebel like many creative people, he was from an early age a voracious learner who taught himself, cultivating the attitudes, resources, and techniques to tackle even seemingly impossible feats. His outlaw sensibility spawned a unique approach to the creative processâ€”an approach he shares, with characteristic enthusiasm, irreverence, and originality in Creativity: The Perfect Crime.
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Making the reader his accomplice, Petit reveals new and unconventional ways of going about the artistic endeavor, from generating and shaping ideas to practicing and problem-solving to pulling off the â€œcoupâ€ itselfâ€”executing a finished work. The strategies and insights he shares will resonate with performers of every stripe (actors, musicians, dancers) and practitioners of the non-performing arts (painters, writers, sculptors), and also with ordinary mortals in search of fresh ways of tackling the challenges and possibilities of everyday existence.
