Summary/Abstract: At the beginning of any creative stage process there might be various blocks and not only physical ones; most of them have to do with our attitude towards our own body. In my experience as actor and dancer, I have come to realize that every artist is special, has a unique psychological profile. Even if he/ she puts the rational element first or, on the contrary, values the emotional coordinate, it is certain that sense, affect and reason act in a syncretic manner in the creative process. In conclusion, every artist imprints a particular rhythm and nuance to his movements that can serve for definition and identification. There is another dimension to the body on stage that occurs when the dancer himself has a charisma and radiance that impresses and draws, beyond the message and the movements.
