It's (arguably) possible to fuck without theory - animals mate all the
time - but making love is another matter. Octavio Paz wrote an
interesting book around this (his last, The Double Flame). Children
without a linguistic framework - eg, those poor children in those
horrible eastern european orphanages - are disadvantaged in all ways,
let alone in approaching or making art, because they are unable to
think about their behaviour.
Wish I had more time to debate, but I'm off to a theatre conference,
where I am to be a "luminary". There will no doubt be lots of theory
among all those practitioners.
