THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL STUDY OF THEATRICAL COMMUNICATION
THAT IS TO SAY
THE STAGE AS A MEANS TO KNOW AND SHOW ONESELF
- Certainly we are not the ones who presume to be able to explain what Theatre is.
- Theatre: the most sublime form of communication ever conceived by man, or rather ever expressed by human beings.
- The Theatre: The anthropological art by definition that rises to the level of a philosophy of life.
Theatre sharpens the analytical and deductive abilities of every individual who approaches it with the respect it deserves, making them strive to understand the movements of the human soul and, deluding themselves that they understand them, can try to recreate what they have understood. In short: from life through theatre we return to life.
It's like a woodworm that eats away at you, desperately trying to find a Truth in the life you live, a Truth that probably doesn't exist but that theatre makes possible.
⁃ The theater masks life by making it look like truth.
⁃ What are the two essential means for communication between humans: words and gestures, sound and the body.
To summarize:
- sharpen your analytical and deductive skills, so you can understand and repeat.
- Through character study, one can improve one's ability to accept other people's thoughts and thus expand one's critical thinking skills to accept any nuance, however unpleasant, of the thoughts one is interpreting.
- The word “interpretation” at this point takes on different meanings: interpretation as the translation of someone else's thoughts so as to make them understandable to others, or even the representation of a personality different from one's own.
- Have the ability to express oneself verbally by controlling one's linguistic and vocal expressions.
- Having the ability to control one's body and therefore one's gestures.
If the term “actor” means someone who performs on stage, he or she must be an example of concentration, self-control, and therefore awareness.
From these brief considerations it can also be deduced that the actor's effort at analysis, deduction and understanding extends beyond the individual (character) to the society in which he lives, which is why Theatre, as a critical confrontation with the system, will never be fully accepted by a non-democratic state.
The three phases of the internship:
- Self-presentation and representation (improvisation) of oneself, also with, optionally, the recitation of a passage of prose, poetry, music or dance.
- Comparison with others: memory and interaction.
- The study of a poetic passage to be interpreted.
