다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This essay is a study on the solutions to the problems student actors are facing in the course of role creation process, where they lose their own individualities and rush to imitate stereotypical characters, failing to acquire the truthfulness of their characters.
The reasons for this are, first, that the characters student actors have to play are usually quite distant from the actors themselves in terms of era, age, gender, occupation, desires, social relationships, and experience; second, they are often put into performances hurriedly and take roles without accumulating competence through continuous training; and third, we are lacking in the process-oriented educational philosophy of viewing the process of role creation as 'time for self-discovery through characters'.
From this perspective, this essay focuses on the character's "impulse" as a way to sense the character's truthfulness in role creation, and examines "worship to the sun," "inner monologue," "UP-EXERCISE," and "whispered dialog" as training tools for sensing the character's impulse.
To elaborate, these exercises are arranged for actors to sense the character's impulse by creating a physical state for immediate reaction, building the character's thought, experiencing the character's desire through breathing and speaking out the text according to the size of the character's event, and approaching the essence of the impulse, which is an immediate reaction to a stimulus, through the sense of being able to fully focus on the acting partner.
We also examined how to utilize these exercises and tried to verify their practical effectiveness by applying them to the participating actors during the rehearsal process of the play "Incognito."
As a result, we found that the student actors were able to understand and empathize with the characters rather than reducing and distorting the characters to their own experiences, and that they were able to connect their own bodies and minds to the characters' impulses rather than just imitating them, thereby acquiring a certain degree of truthfulness.
It is hoped that this study may help student actors recognize that they need constant training and effort in order to express their creative personality, and that the process of creating roles in school performances should be a time of self-discovery and a process of finding their own nature.
