The imagined situation – a creative device
The imagined situation – a creative device

Summary/Abstract: In the context of dramatic patterns becoming more and more diverse, it is important that dramatic teaching adapts to the requirements of the artistic world in which graduates will enter. Yet, we must not lose the essential, in this age where the art of acting is more and more often found in the overlap of multiple aesthetic forms. The imagined situation is the main means for an actor to approach a piece of drama, a character, a psychological reality different from their own. Although the concept of the „imagined situation” is over a hundred years old, the way a modern actor uses it has evolved. This study seeks to prove, through concrete examples, that the imagined situation is the main device actors turn to nowadays, in the process of working on their part.
