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."

-- excerpted from STATE OF EMERGENCE,
a paratheatre manifesto by Antero Alli

"Towards an Archeology of the Soul"
A Paratheatrical Workbook by Antero Alli & Friends
Vertical Pool, 2003. 272 pages; illustrated; paperback.

Towards an Archeology of the Soul outlines the principles, techniques and
underlying ethos of a comprehensive ritual technology for Self-initiation
developed by Antero Alli (since 1977). Drawing from physical theatre, dance
and Zazen meditation, this ritual without dogma looks to the body’s own vital
instincts to motivate movement, sound, and characterization. This workbook
can act as a practical guide to catalyze solo and group rituals and includes
articles by and interviews with noted ritualists and performers.
