Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2006 im Fachbereich Theaterwissenschaft, Tanz, Note: 1,7, Europa-Universität Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder) (Kulturwissenschaftliche Fakultät), Veranstaltung: Theatertheorien des 20. Jh., 9 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: This paper investigates the 'menschenbild' behind the acting theories of Strasberg and Grotowski. As well, it examines Stanislavski's technique of accessing the 'emotional memory' and how this technique is used in theatrical performance. Strasberg and Grotowski are both influenced by Stanislavski, yet they each have differing opinions about how an actor can mine their subconscious. Strasberg stresses the primacy of the internal. Whereas Grotowski advocates physical and psychological self-transgression. Both theorists tend to violate the intimate boundaries of the actor. This paper argues that a should 'menschenbild' include respect and the inviolability of the psyche. Strasberg and Grotowski's ideas do not guarantee an emotionally secure situation for the actor on stage. Also, it is debatable if their techniques are even effective in creating visceral performances on stage, since real experience is the aim of naturalistic theatrical performance. This paper maintains, in Stanislavski's tradition, a performance technique that includes the outside world is essential to achieve a vivid and truthful acting style. Less
