Resumen
El concepto “talento” está profundamente ligado a la experiencia de vida del estudiante de artes y del artista profesional. Esta conexión es con frecuencia ambigua, ya que el término mismo está atrapado en una red de significaciones que pueden ser factores en detrimento de la construcción del performer y de sus propios procesos artísticos, creativos y prácticos. En este artículo proponemos revisar dichas significaciones en búsqueda de una nueva forma de definir, valorar y entender la habilidad del artista en escena. Al mismo tiempo, abogamos para que el término “talento”, después de su análisis y revisión documental y académica, se ponga sobre la mesa su posible eliminación del campo artístico en lo general, permitiendo el acceso de terminología que abone a la construcción del artista escénico desde una perspectiva global y transdisciplinaria.
The Influence of Talent and its Meanings in the Experience of the Stage Performer
Abstract:
The concept of “talent” is deeply linked to the life experience of art students and professional artists. This connection is often ambiguous since the term itself is trapped in a network of meanings that can hinder the performer’s artistic, creative, and practical processes. The authors propose to review these meanings in search of a new way to define, value, and understand the artist’s ability on stage. After the analysis and documentary review of the term “talent”, we advocate that it be eliminated from the theatrical and artistic field in general, giving way to terminology that better contributes to the construction of the performing artist from a global and transdisciplinary perspective.
