Abstract

 

Given emotion’s role in actor and actress profession, it is not surprising that researchers has sought to endow them with the ability to employ emotion and emotional expression. A relation between emotion and its bodily expression can serve several roles in portraying a particular character. This study explored the creative development of human body in a theoretical production. It further discussed the methodological issues that arise in studying the bodily expression of emotion. It emphasized on the body system as a source of character. 

            The study adopted qualitative design which involved conceptual, historical and explanatory. It was anchored on developmental movement theory and theory of proxemics. The theories were used to explain the relationship of body and character in acting. 

            Generally, the study established that several patterns of body movement systematically occur in portrayals of specific emotions, allowing emotion differentiation. Although a few emotions were prototypically expressed by one particular pattern, most emotions were variably expressed by multiple patterns, many of which can be explained as reflecting functional components of emotion  such as modes of appraisal and action readiness. It is concluded that posture, movement and gestures are important element of acting that must not be neglected or taken for granted. 

            It is therefore, recommended that upcoming artist should be trained on posture, movement and gestures in order to showcase the professionalism of acting profession.
