The Actor’s Craft at the Intersection of Emotion and Rigour

The art of acting involves the dramatic interpretation of different characters, integrating the emotional, vocal and physical skills developed from rigorous training methods. The emotion, essential in the actor’s craft, is based on techniques that support the exploration and honest transmission of affective feelings, adding a nuance of originality to the interpretation. The techniques developed by Stanislavski and Meisner are based on a rigorous training of the actor, thus allowing him to access various psychological experiences and communicate them in an authentic way. The disciplined conduct of an actor is the effect of the study of strict techniques in the process of interpretation, which gives precision and coherence to the artistic act. Through rigor, the actor can achieve high standards of professionalism through the characters performed. Expressing feelings in an original manner requires the use of demanding methods that give consistency to interpretation, a process that takes place only when the rigour and emotion of the actor are interconnected, the result being a plausible and original artistic act.
