Experience and failure
I just read 'Intetions, Problems, Proposals' by Richard Schechner.
After dissertation about plays that i never read before, i found the pharagraphs where we wirte about the importance of the experience and failure.
"The younger writer need a room for failure, and the only place where there is such a room is the university. Here, if we seize the opportunity, the play-wright can work within a company situation without being press for immediate sucess. The oportunity is there because the very basis of a university is its commitment to learning and research. But while experimentation is encouraged among our young scientists, our theater departments are infected by the ideia of the commodity theater. (...) It is hopeless to suggest that our universities give up their Broadway programs. (...) We must see that our universities continue to produce the classics - from Aeschylus to Ionesco. I ask only: isn't there a room for a third commitment to the future, to our own young and unpracticed writers? (...) Not producing our young playwright's work is like asking our young novelist and poets to hand in notes on are certain that their worl is 'worth it'. (...) In order to achieve such ensembles within our universities we must relocate our thinking to accomodate an idea based on the validity of experimentation. (...) We must encourage our young writers, directors, actors, and designers to work together as ensembles. No project should be forbidden them as they reach out towards new ideas, perhaps impossible ideas. Their goal must be discover and to invent. Most of the time will fail, but the artist, like the scientist must be given room to fail. (...) The very ephermerality of theatrical production imposes strict laws of immediacy on our art."
