CREATIVITY AND CAPABILITY:

INSPIRATION IS A BLACK DOG, DOBERMAN ONE WELL THERE BEHIND YOU.

Henfil

Not quite a course. But being an interesting experience. We stay together for four hours every Saturday, we talk a lot, you draw very little. Most students come from courses such as Communication, Fine Arts, Architecture. There is no teaching coach. What we want is to develop the ability to create. Respect the uniqueness of each one. The awakening of the potential of people. It's almost a psychoanalytic work, a sort of group therapy.

The whole time I'm giving testimonies about how the process of creating. And there are many myths fall. For example: that creativity is an esoteric genius, something that suddenly springs from the people, a holy spirit that low, under ultra-special. I then show you through my experience - and experience that I could see other people who create -

that creativity is a matter of concentration. What it does not happen without concentration, and this concentration is sometimes painful, time consuming and gives a lot of work. And its result is, in general, the isolation of the person who succeeds, which is what it means to be an exception.

What is important, then, was to demystify the outset, disarming their spirit. The worst is that the inaugural class went to TV Globo, TV Cultura, with all that paraphernalia. This the situation much worse for them. It took a couple classes so that they relax in its relationship to it. Saw that I was not the teacher, the wise. Another aspect is that staff there would not draw, rarely draws. So there's no competition, there is no chance of them putting this: there is a famous teacher who will teach me to succeed, it's me and him, the others are competitors. None. We take three classes so that everybody put in a good, an equal, without any competition.

was there for them that I intuit that there are two ways you can create. One is that you only create a black dog behind. What does the black dog? It is urgent is the need for concrete, the bursting period. That thing like that. You're sick, busted knee, but has a black dog, a Doberman behind you. And then you run and, if necessary, to jump into the water without knowing swim. If a pole to climb, you climb. The urgency, the necessity is the mother of creation. This has to do with a sentence of football coach Gentil Cardoso to his players: "I want you to go to the ball like a plate of food." The essential need is a business I did some exercises in its relationship to it. I picked up suddenly and said, let's draw now has two minutes to go. Then, things went out and they even scared. But of course going out, I loosened the black dog!

With this just shows that you just created with high voltage. Proving that sometimes the person has one month to create a cartoon, and is 29 days without creating only creates the last day. Rarely you get a cumulative process, and one enters, one thing ends up being over-elaborate and comes overdose: the point is you need. Now, when you have time, then you create.

We made this type of exercise several times and saw that in repetiçãoo result was very poor because, while the black dog, you always end up working on top of what already had. You end up spending what you have just to survive. And to create it, you need something more. Need information. That day, I did three questions to the class that was: who was Zapata, who was and who was Lumumba Milton Campos. Nobody knew. Thirty, no one knew. And they were well-informed, sensitive. Then came the discussion of another aspect: information is important. Knowledge is what gives you more able to create. Come the black dog, you run, play in water. You have nothing, nothing of breast, butterfly. The black dog that will not go away, stay on the sidelines. Then you have to swim the other way, has to float, try other styles, go to bearing. That is: who has little knowledge drowns, or the puppy gets.

Tá missing one: It Tiradentes.

The problem of information is fundamental. And there is the appearance of look and see that Castañeda he speaks in his books. You can look at things and not seeing. It is information that makes you see things. The great artists around the world have a great information. I mean, primitivists may lack information theoretical, but they have experience. These people are living in a thousand places, lived longer than those who write more than theoretical. The information is vital to learn to look and see things.

Look Milor. A guy who studies it. He is a translator, translates several languages, reads many books. You go to his house and he has all the dictionaries. Information is a gift, it's a job. Last class, for example, I said, you will pick up a cartoon of a person, a comic book and will dissect. Go see what kind of info the author had to have to do that. To show how much water he drank before doing that. You must have a thousand information to write a simple story where Scrooge goes to Mongolia and fight against another guy who wants to steal his money.

And there is the problem of odara, which is the biggest myth of all times. Personnel not want to read the newspaper, tinkering with political party, wants no opinion, nothing, nothing. Now this is a lie. It's just you get a great leader odara and see. Caetano Veloso, for example. He reads every newspaper, every magazine, all that is poetry, all that is book. Just listen to his music to see that, turns and moves, he is quoting, using words well. Herself his fight with the press shows that it is highly informed about the press. Actually, it's a guy who reads a lot. The same with Gilberto Gil, Jorge Ben. Somewhere you have to eat. You do not give what does not. Unless you create a new schizophrenic language, it will not be understood, and then you have no contact with anyone except one psychiatrist, who will be analyzing what .

I've been putting these things, and from this, the group began work in terms of creation. I then explained that the creation I see basically two processes.

In humor, these two things are essential: a fact that you relate with others and thus make people understand the situation better. In the case of reversal of expectations, and gives you the opposite of what they are waiting, and people perceive the situation better. Mainly because that gives you a fright, and that's where the humor is made more.

We had lots of practice relationship. I said one word - joy - and, at high speed, black dog loose, they had to relate things to her. Then one Christmas and said another payment. Then we started to create. I told one actually read in the newspaper: in Rio, six blacks were tied by the neck with a rope. So let's list: black tied with rope. Then they: Tiradentes! Tied vote '. Then I even did a cartoon, there's time, who was a leading black police tied by the neck, and then another one said what's lacking, go and comes with Tiradentes.

Dance paint and sing that the UN guarantees. train

After reversal of expectations. I spoke joy and they had to revert my expectations. One spoke my mother died at Christmas, and so on. They suggested themes. Began to read more, worried about the ignorance demonstrated in previous days. Went to a few cartoons over the reversal of expectations, which is the process of creating eyed. When everybody thinks he will appeal, he attacks. When everyone thinks he is going to harm, he kisses her, then turns kissing scandal. I went through this and know they could see 30 people creating together, they could create together, which is pro business techniques, to create not one thing is extemporaneous, spirit saint. There is a scary attendance in class, almost thirty remain even on the eve of extensive work, always.

Another myth is that I try to combat on the form.

There is a design drawing. This would only form a business system says Picasso, it can draw, the rest do not know. So have a Picasso and a hundred million consumers of Picasso. Now, I tell them that each design is a design, and that one thing today is not considered art, is in a bit. I cited the example of Gilberto. When Angela Nelson Goncalves and Maria were great singers, appeared Joao Gilberto, with his tuneless voice, and soon was considered a great singer. And today it's hard to be considered a Nelson Gonçalves great singer because he sings very refined. Today, the tune is that is bossa. Then, the agent can not fall in the business process of the moment. It is to develop their potential, nor, for that, need to draw out of tune.

The problem of school is not only in relation to creativity, design, art. It is in its relationship to everything. The great scandal of the school has been training robots, people are equal each other, drawing on techniques whose purpose is to quickly replace other parts. In the case of the drawing, for example, they take what could become a classic design that a guy has developed and started teaching it as drawing, as a final form: we can only learn. It turns out that what has been done, no more market because nobody will buy a copy of Michelangelo, or even a guy like Picasso freer.

As you train for longer ; was done, the schools train people for unemployment is a process of adaptation formulas.

To try a different case, society needs to reinvent the piece. A society where the individual is important and everyone has all the potentials. Nooo potential but that potential is not equal to each other. So, the business of individuality, of personality must be recognized that human rights must be recognized. So have to call the UN, and the schools and teachers have to sign on under the UN charter. That done, it's just practice but we will inevitably fall in a democracy. That is: in a society where I can swim, dance, cooking, create. Now, my way. No form will be good. From there, my voice is good, my drawing is good.

And then I quoted in these classes the SESC, the case of rock. When the rock appeared, even young people felt that something gross, weird, who were accustomed to romantic music with English, French, Italian. And suddenly, that crazy rhythm, foreign to the ears. But through repetition, the machine disclosed was putting it as a way of singing. In the end, who could not sing like that was the culprit. This must stop. All voices count. And do it to suddenly emerge a Clementina de Jesus-and valley. We have millions of Clementines of Jesus, but they are not. The machine is not consecrated. Of course there is a thinning of the potential of each. Clementina and Elis Regina unborn tuned, trained for days. Elis's first album was horrible compared to the last. She trained eight, nine, ten hours a day to get in tune. Anyone who makes it thins. It will not have the same voice of the Elis, can be another voice, the voice of Gal. A Gal was bad when it started. Today is good because it was available. The system contains one, put up there just to train others to be consumers, not people with his charisma potential Have a little circular.

Everyone can draw, your way, with their worldview. Suddenly, they say the world view has to be by Michelangelo.

Send your charisma a bit circular.

So people become incompetent because they are not Michelangelo. So the schools are set up to promote the incompetence of the people. That is, teach others to copy. Then everybody gives up. And to change that, just by signing the UN charter.

These people who suddenly quit to take classes, drop out of school, are not to accept any kind of teaching (ie: how to copy others), these people are seen by the system as soon as artists, as marginal. And then, if they become famous, they to teach, as is my case. I refused the school, never learned anything. That is, I lived in schools things nãoa school. I kept my individuality. To the extent that you keep your individuality, you're an artist, because to maintain individuality in a mass society and alienation, you have to be an artist. The artist is just that, the guy who manages to maintain his individuality, his personality, in any industry. From there he has against the tide, which compels him to do a great effort.

Another thing we have to demystify this is charisma. As more people develop their own potential, there will be less charismatic. To the extent that everyone start playing better ball, the charisma of Pele diminishes. And the projection of someone is not just a matter of greater talent. The projection should be a greater courage tambéma arises. I, for example, when I went there to teach the SESC, not quite knew what was going to speak. I got there, I looked and told the staff to see, I knew the next word that I said. Charisma're there. Now my charisma're decreasing inside. That's over we're talking together. Even a funny thing is happening. Some guys have got up there and speak my side. Before you were there behind me looking forward, now faces the class, using his charisma.

have to put the charisma to go around. Change position. This situation charisma has a great weight for those who want to be alone with her. The business is really push people to have charisma along with you. Otherwise, no one can stand. The bird that eats stones knows what comes. The person who accepts a charismatic role goes to the loneliness, the more dark and lonely solitude.
