Abstract:
This article aims at presenting how the contributions of the bio-existentialist psychophysiological model conceptualized by Vezio Ruggieri and his collaborators can bring a new light on some core elements underlying acting such as stage presence, identification process with a character and the complex mechanism of prosody. This theoretical mark, which sees the connection body-mind in a circular relation, will enlighten the reader on the physiological basis of perception and imagination as well as on the fundamental role that the muscular structure plays within the construction of these phenomena.
