CREATIVITY THE ACTOR IN PERFORMANCE - HELEN TRE...

Creativity: the Actor in Performance focuses on what it takes to be a creative performer. Many
stage-actors succeed in rehearsals  yet under-perform where it counts-in performance. But  as
actors know  performance is a thing unto itself-something is going to have to happen out there
beyond anything that happened in rehearsals. This book provides actors  their teachers and
directors with insights into the creativity of the actor in performance. An historical account
of the emergence and development of one of the most generative concepts of our times -
creativity - provides a theoretical backdrop to a critical discussion of the creativity of
acting - a discussion that includes analyses of Denis Diderot  George Henry Lewes  William
Archer  Konstantin Stanislavsky  Michael Chekhov  Michel Saint-Denis  Zeami and Eugenio Barba.
Creativity: the actor in performance concludes by offering a detailed rationale for
performance-oriented actor training  offering examples of workshop exercises(CREATICS) which
focus on developing four main competencies crucial for successful and creative performances:
situation awareness  audience awareness  divided consciousness and presence.
