Right/Wrong vs. Possiblity/Choice
Right/Wrong vs. Possiblity/Choice

Summary/Abstract: Categorized as good or bad since birth (a good baby doesn't cry too much), we are gradually so caught up in the entanglements of approval/disapproval that our creativity is paralyzed and we become unaware of our own human nature. Therefore, I believe that it is very important when we refer to the pedagogy of teaching acting to replace the notions of right/wrong with notions of possibility and choice. I have found that an effective tool to overcome the constraints instituted by such notions of right/wrong is to familiarize the student with the Viewpoints method, as it is based on the spontaneous and intuitive collaboration of a group of actors, who together create new and daring theatrical actions and situations. Viewpoints trains stage artists (dancers, actors, performers) to listen with their whole body, to perceive and use everything that is happening around them, thus training them to keep their stage creation only in the Present, only Here and Now, the only place where the Theatrical Art is born.
