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 to clarify the form and
style of whatever material our talent can access."
-- excerpted from STATE OF EMERGENCE,
a paratheatre manifesto by Antero Alli

ANTERO ALLI has been producing work in theatre and paratheatre since 1977. His paratheatre work is documented in his book, "Towards an Archeology of the Soul" (Vertical Pool, 2003) and in three videos: "CRUX", "Archaic Community" and "Orphans of Delirium". Alli's 2005 docufiction feature, "The Greater Circulation", incorporates a paratheatre performance in a critically acclaimed cinematic treatment of poet Rainer Maria Rilke's "Requiem for a Friend". His 2008 experimental feature, "The Invisible Forest" was inspired by the ideas of French Surrealist playwright/actor, Antonin Artaud.
