Arta actorului între jocul ascuns şi cel deschis în raport cu publicul
The Art of the Actor between the Hidden and the Open Acting in relation to the Audience

Summary/Abstract: The article ”The Art of the Actor between Hidden and Open Acting in Relation to the Audience” is a study of artistic pedagogy with theatrical specifics that analyzes two ways of acting, and, at the same time, two directorial proposals, diametrically opposed and involving two different ways of co-participation from the audience: the ”open” acting and the ”hidden” acting. The author takes the idea of a comparative analysis made by John Wright between the open acting, which generally appears in comedic contexts, and the acting he calls ”hidden”, in which concealing the character's intentions through a prolonged psychological play will maintain further suspense. In the case of the open Shakespearean-type acting, the rational judgment is much more involved, while in the hidden acting the emotional judgment prevails – the audience being emotionally involved in the process, trying to decipher the outcome of the action.
