Abstract

The actor is the most important tool and the most effective element for presenting cultural and artistic ideas and images, especially since he leads the group of theatrical elements as a living and effective element that has the ability to build a large group of signs through the means of action that he performs with all the elements within the show system. The actor as a phenomenon works to organize these physical and vocal abilities. And its development to form and organize those transforming and moving relationships with oneself or with the other or with the rest of the other elements of the show to produce a media system of its own that differs from one show to another. And monitoring the research problem, which is represented by the question (to what extent can the performance of the actor build a media system between action and performance?).
