Summary/Abstract: The process of formation and training ofyoung actors, as well as the continuous improvementof experienced actors requires extensive knowledgeof applied psychology. That the actor must be a finepsychologist is almost a commonplace, but how histraining process should unfold in order for him toassimilate the necessary understanding of psychicprocess in a coherent and appropriate way remains to bestudied. In the doctoral thesis „Performative Alternativesof Shakespearean Characters Born of Their EmotionalUniverse” we proposed a didactic model of analysis usingpsychological theories, methods and tools that investigatethe personality and its dimensions, as well as drawingcredible and coherent lines of character evolution. Thistype of approach is complementary to the traditional one, responding to Stanislavski’s urge to create new methods and to break traditions in both the training process and the interpretation process.
