Everyday, lots of women and student actress enter acting classes where most of them will receive actor training through sex discriminative or gender-blinded acting language. Yet relatively little acting teachers, coaches and instructors’ consideration has been given to the experience of the student actress: What have been happened to women and student actress in actor training? This thesis confronts the sexism that still exists in actor training and exposes the gender biases embedded within the acting language itself. I will focus on acting languages which have been historically used in actor training from three perspectives. Especially, in relation to actor and role, ‘involvement’ is represented by Stanislavsky; ‘self-renunciation’ is Grotowski, ‘detachment’ is Brecht. Like American Method acting, some variation on the Stanislavsky-based emphasize on ‘truth on the stage.’ However, ‘truth’ in traditional mimesis is inextricably intertwined with cultural assumptions about gender. Also, in Grotowski’s theory of body, it can be confirmed that gender-blinded languages such as ‘neutral’ are used. In Brechtian epic theatre, we can find some alternative acting language yet unpractical. From a feminist perspective, it becomes important to expose the assumptions underlying truth claims made by and on behalf of each acting theory. My research on these three aspect of acting theory and training method represents a brief problematic view of acting languages. It is necessary to bring about new understandings of feminist’s view in acting classroom. It will influence the ways that actor training will be conducted in the future.
