Summary/Abstract: This paper examines the transformation of research into an artistic act within actor training pedagogy. Starting from the concepts of artistic research and practice-as-research, it presents teaching methods that integrate investigative approaches into the student’s creative process. Concrete examples drawn from university pedagogical experience highlight the ways in which improvisation exercises, physical exploration, and the analysis of dramatic texts transform research into scenic experience. The case studies emphasize the importance of reflexivity and the student’s active involvement, demonstrating that the classroom becomes a performative laboratory where scientific rigor intertwines with artistic creation.
