Arta actorului şi jocurile teatrale

Abstract

Many of the fundamental Performing Arts principles can be discovered while playing theater games. They are a key point in helping a first-year student enhance his natural abilities. Not only that, but theater games also lead to a higher individual and group performance. Both of these elements are of great importance when it comes to becoming a professional actor. The article points out key aspects such as „process, not success”, me in the given circumstances, the relationship with the scene partner, organicity and so forth. Several quotes from Viola Spolin and Ion Cojar are mentioned in order to support the analysis. At the very end there are 3 theater games (which are presented from the point of view of the facilitator) in order to exemplify the fundamental Performing Arts principles.
