The golden key of acting training: Silence the ego

Abstract

One of the premises which form part of our theatre lexicon: the actor should act instinctively. To explain its importance, the development of the idea and its application to theatrewe use four references of European theatre teaching, and so Konstantin Stanislavsky, Jerzy Grotowski, Michael Chejov and Peter Brook are the objectives of this article. Doubtless there are many others that would be appropriate to understand and realise the importance of psychological and philosophical concepts that have contributed to its formulation and form the basis for reviving theatre teaching from more contemporary trends.
