BARONE, Luciana Paula Castilho. THE SELF AND ACTION: TOOLS FOR AWARENESS AND CREATION ON THE WORK OF THE ACTOR. Contrapontos [online]. 2020, vol.20, n.2, pp.451-465.  Epub 01-Fev-2021. ISSN 1984-7114.  https://doi.org/10.14210/contrapontos.v20n2.p451-465.

This paper discusses the tools needed for the creative work of the actor, starting with the deepening of self-knowledge. It presents the report of the author’s pedagogical experience of an extension course, taken in 2018, which formed part of a research project focusing on the relationship between the expansion of the actor’s psycho-physical awareness and the creation of a character. Practices investigated included active meditation, neutral mask, Somatic Education (through Body-Mind Centering™ body systems) and elements of Michael Chekhov’s acting technique. The close relationship between imagination and perception was addressed, both as a basis for broadening body and psychic awareness and as a source of psycho-physical creation.

Palavras-chave : body-mind centering; Michael Chekhov’s acting technique; deep psychology.
