Summary/Abstract: The actor – a vehicle of meanings – resorts to various means of expression when creating a role, committing to immersing themselves in given situations through play and creativity with the aid of affective memory, the internalization/assimilation of character data that is provided by the author or required by the director. Thus, the process of creative existence assists them in the situations and actions they engage in. Responsible for the entire process of self-discovery and self-knowledge, the actor becomes capable of existing as a vehicle of meanings, through which and with which they identify. By generating their own life experiences through thoughts and feelings, the actor brings together with them experiences which can be integrated whenever a character or a role involves situations similar to those they have personally lived before.
