Summary/Abstract: Any teacher should understand and appraise the properties of experiential learning. For the acting teacher, this approach to the education process of the drama school is essential, for it has to do with both the personal and the professional aspects of the student’s growth. As regards the acting workshop, creating significant learning experiences, implies avoiding the How, working with The Point of Concentration, the abolishment of the approval/disapproval tyranny and, by doing so, nurturing the essential coordinate in the work of the student-actor: pursuing the process, not the success. Acting training should therefore imply theater games, improvisation and avoid any type of activity that works against the enunciated principles. Immitation of a given model should have nothing to do with the workshop and stage exposure must be seen as a learning experience and nothing more.
