MODE05

I am referring to Pirkkos statement about how she learned to write: by writing. And how she learned to think critically: by following and rethinking other people's thoughts. In Classical and Modern Dance this is how people are taught to dance, by dancing and by dancing other people's repertoire. In contemporary dance on the other hand it seems to be a taboo to think of this method as valuable.
In Dresden there is a school for writers, they only accept students who are willing to read and reflect. Those who only want to write are encouraged to write, but not in the context of a school.
Schools are not for all upcoming artists, but exactly who benefits from a school and what form of schooling?
