en el turismo blog encontramos el siguiente post, tan interesante. una rotunda afirmación pedagógica:

SB: When you ask writers how they learnt their craft, how they learnt their job, they usually answer 'by reading'. And we learnt the craft of film-making by seeing a lot of films. Nowadays there are film schools, there are courses in creative writing and so on. Do you believe more in learning by oneself through experience rather than in schools, when it comes to training yourself to a creative occupation or profession?
WA: Absolutely. It's socratic. It enters through a different opening in your body. For instance, in order to be a jazz musician, you have to listen and listen and listen a lot of jazz. And that's an act of love. You don't think, I'm listening to study it. You just listen because you love it. And you love it, and love it... and gradually you learn. You really learn everything valuable through osmosis. It's the same with play-writing or movie-directing or acting. You love either reading or watching films or plays or listening to music. And in some way, over the years, without making any attempt, it gets into your blood, into the fibre of your body or something. The business of studying it where it becomes a chore and a discipline is wrong. For instance, some actors would watch Marlon Brando when he first started in films. They just loved watching his movies, they'd watch and watch. And when they went to act, they acted like Marlon Brando. They didn't try to, but his acting style became absorbed in them. You find the same thing with music all the time. Someone listens to Charlie Parker. And he listens and listens and loves him and learns to play the saxophone - and he sounds like him! Then he has to break off from that and develop his own style. But it all comes from a very personal and passionate interest. If you want to teach someone film-directing, you could almost say, 'Just keep going to the movies, and it will pass into your body'.
