talent and skill
"Talent allows for fluid access to the internal landscape;
skill allows
articulation into recognizable forms and structures.
If we are to
develop
presence, talent and skill must develop together.
Each requires its own
type of attention and sustaining actions.
Talent requires total freedom
of expression; the free flow of impulses.
Skill requires a sustaining
effort of applied precision and technique. Galvanzied together,
they can express the highest forms of true spontaneity."
