e/Substitution (theatre)

Information
has gloss	eng: In theatre, substitution refers to the method of understanding elements in the life of ones character by comparing them to elements in ones own life. For example, if an actor is portraying a character who is being blackmailed, he or she could think back to some embarrassing or private fact about his or her own life, and mentally superimpose that onto the character's secret. This is associated with the realism-driven representational acting approach.
