The point here applies to any of the arts doesn't it? Ellen Langer writes about this with respect to painting. She's not a professional artist; in fact, she's a Harvard psychologist interested in creativity, but she paints. As she says, people fail to be creative when they worry about what things are supposed to look like. But it's so hard to get over it and not try so hard to make things "right." Is that why children's art is so great, since they haven't been told yet?CEChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04228684081970568334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7430725092429747760.post-2248583442730404262010-01-24T19:39:23.214-06:002010-01-24T19:39:23.214-06:00Great post!

We're still working with Stanislavski which, for now, certainly sounds easier than the repetition exercise! It sounds difficult but thrilling, I think I'll try it out with some friends I have in the theatre department.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14546286210811213773noreply@blogger.com
