Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article is to identify the features and determine a promising theoretical and practical approach to acting in the context of the specifics of post-dramatic theater. Methodology. An analytical method was applied to identify domestic and foreign scientific works on the theory of post-dramatic theater; the method of systems analysis and synthesis, thanks to which the approaches and methods of actor's mastery developed by K. Stanislavsky are considered in the context of dramatic and post-dramatic theater, with their inherent originality; the method of historical and cultural analysis and the comparative method, on the basis of which the differences in acting in the performances of dramatic and post-dramatic theater are revealed. Scientific novelty. The skill of the actor of the post-dramatic theater was investigated; the features of acting perception and practice of playing in performative practice are revealed; a promising theoretical and practical approach to acting, corresponding to the specifics of post-dramatic theater, is proposed; the expediency of using certain principles of the Stanislavsky system in search of new methods of acting by an actor in post-dramatic theater has been proved. Conclusions. A wide range of types of theatrical practices at the present stage of the development of the performing arts has led to the transformation of acting perception and acting. The post-dramatic theater offers the viewer not only the image of the hero but also the special existence of the actor, which is defined as “presence” and is the result of work on the material, the theme of the performance. In the context of the specifics of post-dramatic theater, in our opinion, a proactive approach is appropriate, providing for the rejection of prejudices and adherence to a single system, discourse or practice and cultivates a critical awareness of acting as a multiple and variable.
