Abstract

V originále

How to feel free in a creative process? How can you feel open in your mind and body? What are the barriers between you and the feeling of enjoying every moment on the stage? Can you really feel your body, freedom and self-awareness? It is a circle. You feel pressure when on the stage that you should do something. You start thinking what to do and how. You decide. You do something but it doesn’t feel so authentic. Change your process of thinking for an authentic reaction of your organism! Knowing how to use your whole body, the link between movement and emotion, words as sounds without meaning, how to work with the real circumstances such as your partner and the space - these important skills make you able to express yourself fully and genuinely. Nowadays, we can combine different movement techniques as we like. What is it that we really need to focus on within the training? Is it a “technique of movement” or how to understand myself as a human being? An actor should be a master of emotion. Can we learn more about empathy thanks to movement? Maybe we should learn to feel free in self-expression anywhere we are, not only on the stage. Maybe we should keep searching for more questions and more answers about connection between movement and our true selves. Maybe this is the best way how to become an authentic actor or a good actress.
