Abstract. Theater performing art is an art of portraying a certain character through role-playing. As an actor, the process of entering the role is not easy to realize, but a complex process that requires a constant understanding of the role and a full expression of that understanding. In the process of character creation, the actor should not only combine subjective and objective factors, but also highly unify the physical and psychological. In fact, no matter how the actor to create the role by whatever means, are inseparable from an objective law, that is, the actor must have an internal experience of the role of the link and external embodiment of the link. And only by utilizing this law can the actor create a true and vivid image of the character. This article shows that the digital age has brought various influences on the process of actors’ internalization and externalization of roles.
Keywords: dramatic performance; experience; embodiment; relationship, digital age.
