Abstract

This text compares ideas about the relationship between technique and spontaneity in the publications of Jerzy Grotowski, Viola Spolin and Kristin Linklater.  These three authors write about contrasting practices, but demonstrate significant agreement in relation to their conceptions of technique and spontaneity.  In this manner, the article defends the importance of technique in the creative work of the actor, with the aim of creating an experimental process for teaching/learning voice.
