The importance of physical training for actors

Summary/Abstract: We live in the time of total performances, where the status of a total actor brings forward the body of the actor as the conveyor of creative impulses. Thus, the actor’s corporality becomes, to themselves, the very object of a fervent, continuous search towards its discovery and development as a means of expression. This aspiration calls for the usage of a deep, long-term way of introspection, self-discovery and awareness of one’s own limits and energies of physical dimensions. Constantly sustained physical training by the actor is meant to support the creation of one’s own extraordinary corporality, characterized by attributes such as: expressiveness, self-knowledge, freedom of expression, awareness, vigilance, creativity, coordination, motor refinement aso.
