The Art of Theatrical Direction and the Aesthetics of Stage Performance The play "Autumn" as à Case Study

Abstract

This research examines the transformations in a theater actor’s artistic performance according to the director’s specifications in shaping the characters that embody the artistic work in its internal and external temporal and spatial dimensions. It also examines the actor’s ability to convey the concepts and meanings of the theatrical performance and the artistic outcomes of this performance, as conceived by the director, in his handling of the tools of the creative process—from the text and the actor to the audience— so that the creative process is completed through the analysis and interpretation of this audiovisual discourse, which is embodied through the actor’s movements.
This study aims to highlight the aesthetics of directing and their impact on the actor’s performance, to identify the elements of theatrical directing related to acting, and to examine their application on stage without neglecting the influence of other scenographic elements on the actor’s performance. In addition, the study provides a detailed explanation and analysis of the aesthetics of the performance, including theatrical acting on stage.
Accordingly, this research consists of two chapters : the first chapter contains two sections, and the second chapter comprises an applied study, followed by a conclusion and, finally, a list of sources and references.
