E.Q. – An Indispensable Skill for the Student Actor
E.Q. – An Indispensable Skill for the Student Actor

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this approach is to highlight the importance of emotional intelligence in general, but especially in the development of the student actor. I believe that before creating characters, acting students need to know both theoretically and practically what emotion is, how many emotions there are, and what their roles are. I also strongly believe that knowing the difference between feeling and emotion is necessary. Emotional literacy is necessary both for recognizing, managing and self-regulating personal emotions as well as the emotions of those around us. After learning about emotions, we are going to integrate them so that we find that balance between EI and IQ, especially since the acting profession requires active and rational thinking. Only by reconciling the brain and the heart, reason and emotion, will we be able to express feelings judiciously. Naturally, the physical body will also be integrated, thus harmonising the three bodies: the physical, mental and emotional body.
