Similitudini între antrenamentul specific actorului şi antrenamentul sportiv
Similarities between Actor-Specific Training and Sports Training

Summary/Abstract: During my doctoral research (2014-2018) I managed to open a two-way relationship between the Actor’s Art and the Science of Sport, questioning the possibility of borrowing sports training techniques in the actor’s specific training. I believe that notions such as training, coaching, training periodization, regeneration or recovery can inspire both acting pedagogues and directors or student-actors. The article „Similarities between Actor-Specific Training and Sports Training” presents the results of my research in order to identify and define the performance of the actor, taking as a model borrowed terms from the world of sports. The need to objectify specific parameters of the actor’s art with the help of Sports Science was also motivated by the analogy between theatre and sports, between sports training and rehearsals or competition and performance. Both athletes and actors trainto adapt their body to the performance requirements specific to the sport, respectively their role. The very title of this article includes the term training, and one of the constants of the research undertaken during my doctoral research was the attempt to quantify and objectify the components of the inner process carried out in the actor’s intimate laboratory, relying on a better understanding of psycho-emotional mechanisms, hoping that this awareness will improve the actor’s creative performance.
