Summary/Abstract: Game is a “complex anthropological phenomenon” , with a “meaningful” function which, even if it seems to be only a simple action subject to chance and fiction, it has a very clear purpose. Theatre games are basic tools used in the techniques and methods of the art of acting and stage improvisation that reveal and develop individual creative skills, specific to the performing arts. In the theatre context, through the game, the actor manages to give deep meanings, full of dynamism and expressiveness, combines and transforms fictions into realities, trains his imaginative functions, constantly shapes and structures his creative personality. In the creative process, the actor / acting student must create conditions suitable for the theatre phenomenon where attention to his own work, concentration, empathy, fantasy, imagination and memory contribute to the triggering, intelligent and efficient use of artistic creativity. In this case, the game becomes the primary mechanism in preventing, avoiding and especially in removing obstacles and physical, emotional, communicative and imaginative blockages.
