"In
acting, imagination has three aspects: impulse, belief, and
concentration. Impulse-"the leap of the imagination"-may be conscious
or unconscious in origin, but it is useless without belief, which is
the actor's faith that what he is saying, doing, and feeling is both
interesting and appropriate. Concentration both causes and results from
impulses and belief. The actor who has enough belief and will to follow
his impulse is usually concentrated. On the other hand, much of the
actor's work consists in making himself sentient, in creating the
experience, and this involves a deliberate search for the proper
objects or means of becoming concentrated. In turn, a state of
concentration leads to impulse and belief. In other words, the actor
cannot really think on stage unless he is concentrated, and he cannot
be concentrated unless he is really thinking on stage. Imagination thus
operates in terms of these three interacting factors, and when all
three are operating does imagination in acting actually function.
Training the actor to be really alive involves his being conditioned to
receive impulses from the imaginary stimuli, to make this real-that is,
believable to himself- and thus to awaken the proper sensory,
emotional, or motor responses."

Giorgina Cantalini:
Director of the Cultural Association International Acting Society and Dean of International Acting School Rome. |
Graduated
'actress' at the Italian National Drama School «Silvio D'Amico», has
worked in the theatre and in cinema (see ACTRESS), meanwhile she has
continued her acting training and studies incessantly in Europe and in
the States, in order to develop her craft and find answers about talent
and creativity
______________________________
Further acting studies: with Arthur Penn, director until 2000 and
then honorary president of the «Actors' Studio» of New York; Susan
Batson, Elizabeth Kemp, Marilyn Fried and Geraldine Baron, members of
the «Actors' Studio»; from whom she learnt the fundamentals of the
American school of the work of the actor, commonly and inappropriately
called the Stanislavskij-Strasberg method, and infact related to the
"Method".
In 2003 she studied with the Russian director Anatolij Vasil'ev
and studied in depth dramatic composition analysis and physical
actions, aspects of the Russian school in the Stanislavskijan
tradition.
______________________________
As matter of facts she is one of the few teachers in Italy trained
and able to train either in the "System", either in the "Method".
______________________________
Movement and dance studies with: movement, Angelo Corti and Marise
Flach (mime), Elsa Piperno and Stefano Valentini (Graham), Teri J.
Weikel (Limon and Feldenkrais), Monica Vannucchi (Laban); voice, Iva
Formigoni and with Kristin Linklater, head of the Drama dept. «Columbia
University», New York.
______________________________
She graduated in 2003 with a second level degree, the equivalent of
a Masters in 'Drama Teaching and Pedagogy' at the Italian National
Drama School «Silvio D'Amico», acceptance to the course was through an
exam and qualifications points system.
As teacher training during the course she followed:
- 'Psychological and ludic structures': a course in theatre dramaturgy taught by Alessio Bergamo.
- A course and practicum in 'dance preparation for small children' at the Choronde, dance school lead by Monica Vannucchi.
- 'Musical dramaturgy and practicum in musical didactics' lead by Alessandro Magini.
- Theatre workshops with the pupils of the following High Schools of Rome: «Seneca», «Leonardo Da Vinci», «Democrito».
- Final examination practicum as step of an ongoing research into the links between eloqution and language (see below).
______________________________
She graduated with a thesis on: 'Dynamic procedures for reading
aloud'. The research dealt with problems relative to language and
comprehension difficulties and the verbal transference of literary
texts, the hypothesis being didactic solutions both for the improvement
of verbal expression and communication as well as improvement of
learning processes. In brief a functional link between physical action
and enunciation and cognitive links between movement, imagination and
phonation. |
