Jocurile teatrale şi improvizaţia scenică. Oglindirea devenirii prin joc: copil versus actor

Abstract

Once a child is born, he starts to play. It is his way to discover the world and eventually himself. Across time and cultures, the becoming of the human individual follows the same pattern. Research has shown that games are significant to this process. By experiencing his environment playfully, both on his own and through interpersonal engagement, the child acquires valuable information that shape his development as a person and his view of the world. Also, this phase works as a training period for the adult life to come. By comparison, the becoming of the actor follows the same stages as the playing child, thus making theatre games essential in the study of Acting.
