ABSTRACT
The inspirational actor is content to rely exclusively on his own mood. He refuses to bend his will to the discipline of technique. The inspirational actor proudly claims to have rekindled the flame of improvisation in the theatre. In his naïveté he imagines that his improvisations have something in common with the improvisations of traditional Italian comedy. He does not realise the improvisations of commedia dell’arte have a firm basis of faultless technique. The inspirational actor totally rejects technique of any kind.‘Technique hinders creative freedom’ is what he always says. 1
