Theatre – A Path to Becoming
Keywords:
individualization, self-knowledge, self-acceptance, vigilance, focusAbstract
An actor works with one main tool - his/her/their own being. One‟s physique and psyche work together in order to bring forth subtle nuances of one‟s being. An actor needs to mirror different realities for the spectator in order to move him out of his comfort zone and challenge him to ponder on more profound and complex aspects of life. The actor must first know and understand himself before he can share these deep experiences with others. Self- awareness, one of the most intense challenges for a human being, requires plenty of courage and patience in order for one to explore within himself the deepest emotions experienced that will ultimately reveal the most profound insights.
