talent and skill

"Talent and skill each require their own distinct sustaining actions.
Talent can be nurtured by allowing total freedom of self-expression
towards greater fluidity and spontaneity. Skill can develop with
consistent application of technique towards clarifying the form and
style of whatever talent can access. When talent and skill harmonize
together, spontaneity is then free to transform into Art."

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

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.
