Summary/Abstract: The „Concept”, an original exercise of the Romanian Theatre School, which was impossible to track in other acting school traditions is not theorized extensively and, to some degree, is largely being put to work depending on the inspiration of each teacher. This article is trying to forge an answer on what the „concept” actually is and whether we can clarify how to best use it. Putting together a phrase by Sanford Meisner: „Character comes from how you do what you do” and the „concept”- exercise, I make a suggestion on how to find a consistent use of this exercise in education and the actor's work.
