ACTING MASTERY

Abstract

Contemporary dimensions of acting are analyzed in the article. The problem of teaching acting has always been relevant. The complexity of the subject lies in the fact that it is at the intersection of dramatic and choreographic art. There is a lot in common between them, and in many ways, ballet theater draws on the experience of drama theater. However, certain aspects show the fundamental difference between ballet theater and drama. That is why teaching the discipline "Theory and Practice of Acting" imposes specific requirements on educators: it is essential to know and understand the purpose and specifics of the laws of directing and dramaturgy of the drama theater. Moreover, it is equally important to know and understand the specifics of directing and dramaturgy of the ballet theater. In our opinion, an acting teacher should be a director, playwright, choreographer, and performer with practical stage experience at the same time. Acting skills in ballet theater, folk and pop dance, contemporary choreography, children's play dance, etc. are of fundamental importance. Creating images, the ability to convey feelings, thoughts, states, interaction with partners, and emotional communication with the audience - dance cannot exist without all of this. After all, dance, like art in general, is one of the means of communication between people, a way of interacting with the world. It allows one to manifest and express oneself, thoughts about reality, and one's place in it, both in the dance itself and during the training of professional dancers.
