초록

This study examines how traditional acting methodologies are being reinterpreted and merged with improvisational and experiential practices in contemporary theatre. By investigating key concepts such as Stanislavski’s ‘magic if’ and ‘emotional memory’ and Chekhov’s ‘psychological gesture’, the research explores how modern actors enhance authenticity and immediacy on stage. The methodology combines literature review— analyzing original texts by Stanislavski and Chekhov along with contemporary improvisation theory—with practice-based case studies of recent productions including ‘Hamilton’ and ‘The Ferryman’, utilizing practice-based research approaches and participant observation. The findings reveal that the convergence of traditional techniques and modern training deepens the fundamental principles of ‘truthfulness’ and ‘presence’ in acting rather than merely combining techniques. This integrated approach enables actors to balance analytical understanding with intuitive responses, internal immersion with external expression, and textual fidelity with improvisational emergence. It also strengthens the living communion between performers and audience, transforming performances into more immediate and engaging events. Future research should explore experiential training using new technologies like VR and AR, compare traditional-modern technique fusion across diverse cultural contexts, empirically investigate the effects of integrated training on actors’ psychological stability and expressiveness, and develop new convergent training models for digital native generations.
