“Talent is not rare… Talent is part of what it means to be human. Each one of us has talents, abilities, & aptitudes outside of our immediate realm of proficiency. While talent cannot exactly be ‘learned’, it can be discovered, developed, nurtured & diversified by technique… & technique CAN be learned. Technique is the toolbox full of tools with which we do our job. Without technique, we are ‘winging it’; but WITH technique we can be pilots & chart our desired journeys. We don’t want to LOOK like we are flying; we want to FLY.”
Geoffrey Hitch, CMU Professor in Business Acting
