Encounters and disagreements in the creation of the character

Abstract

The actor will be considered as the centering axis of this meeting – des – meeting; encounter with the technique, practice and process of experimentation or search for the creation of the character (improvisation); disagreement of the actor with himself during the process of creating the character, disagreement with the technique when facing it to practice.

We will focus on theories such as: Kowzan on sign and theater, Stanislavsky's physical actions and on studies made by which he subscribes on improvisation; giving emphasis in this proposal, that to achieve the moment of creation, we can resort to the search and use of the iconic and mimetic signs as they are pointed out by Kowzan and adapt them by the actor to achieve the creation and characterization of the character, always using improvisation as a substantial part in the process of experimentation and creation.

Each of the aforementioned concepts will be exposed and linked and mentioned how they are intertwined to help the actor create his character in the period of definition with improvisations and as that, it helps him to dissociate himself from his own body patterns, thus helping him to an integral creation.
