The actor's dramaturgy: identity, freedom, and discipline

Abstract

The present article aims to analyze the relationship between freedom and discipline from the perspective of the actor's condition as a creative partner and the actor's dramaturgy. The delineations of the actor's identity and the actor's identity in the process of artistic creation are at the basis of this work, which attempts to define the actor's dramaturgy and the way in which an actor becomes a dramaturg in the creative process. This article addresses the main challenges facing the modern actor and discusses the necessary mechanisms that help the actor to adapt to different new forms of theatre making and, above all, how an actor can work on what Eugenio Barba calls the actor's dramaturgy
