Summary/Abstract: Games take part in the evolution of humans throughout their entire life and become means of discovering the world and the reality and represent the way of accepting, understanding and appropriating the rules and conventions of society and at the same time discovering fantasy and developing imagination. These features of the game transpose into the theatre and into the training process of actors, with the purpose of resetting the ways of thought and perception on immediate reality. For generation Z the game becomes a bridge to the digital world, to the different forms of virtual reality. The Ludic element remains essentially the same, even if the game acquires new forms of manifestation. The new perception of the idea of game and play imposes a change of the theatrical games and exercises with the purpose of meeting the needs and values of young emergent-adult, through the dynamics and relevance necessary to stimulate motivation and achieve the main goals of the process of actor training.
