에쮸드 연행의 자기치료 과정과 문학적 상상력

Abstract

This study considers the self-therapeutic process of performing an etude among the training methods of the Stanislavskii system and literary imagination as a chance to enhance the effects. In the Stanislavskii system, etudes have the core status with broad-ranged utility from the methods of actor training to the creation of roles in the process of preparing for the actual performance. Even though the training of performing through etudes does not have direct relationship with psychotherapeutic activities, it exhibits self-therapeutic effects according to the participant’s personal disposition. The contents of etudes are determined by voluntary selection among the actual experiences of the agent of performing. The instructor teaches the agent of performing in so that the grammar of a drama consisting of the beginning-middle part-ending can be embodied by the agent’s psycho-physical action. The method is to let the agent himself understand the grammar of a drama with questions. With the repetitive performing processes, some of the agents can act an event of their psychological wound in the past as an etude, and at this time, sometimes, they can experience self-therapeutic effects other than the original purpose of developing performing skills. It consists of three steps: confronting the negative situation (calling in), experiencing the negative situation (experience), and escaping from the negative situation (freedom). In order for performing to exhibit psychotherapeutic effects, they should show impromptu creativity. Impromptu creativity is originated from the ability to see the past situation leading to the wound in a different way. One should have ability to imagine different life to expect new changes. Literary imagination lets the person see his own past wound as an object and alter the conditions consisting of the situation, which stimulates the agent of performing to make trials for previous negative experiences and other kinds of action.
