Psychophysiological Perspective to Access the Inner Action and Identify the Exterior Action

Abstract

The pedagogical path for actors proposed at the beginning of the twentieth century by Stanislavsky, is deepened by linking to concrete observable and manipulable psycho-physiological processes. In this operation, terms such as “human spirit”, “imagination”, “inner action”and “exterior action”, “experiencing a role” will be analyzed so as to become a constituent part of a psycho-bodily thought. We will look at the physiological context in which gestures, actions and feelings are born, whose generative mechanisms will be focused on; the meaning of the definition “coherence of sensations” will be resumed in a clearer context and we will try to provide a definition of “I” - that can be operationally useful for actors.
