Abstract

The purpose of this study is intended to clarify the concept of an ‘action verb’ derived from ‘the method of acting’, and to find out the proper way to use action verb for director and actor. The use of action verb; when actors read their lines in a script, they discover ‘the action’, and apply it into the ‘verb’ form. The concept of action verb is not just a word for action, but the way more effectively describes the method of actor’s acting; it aids actors to act dramatically and dynamically. The concept of action verb is obvious, and it offers clear direction of character's behavior. That’s why it is useful as an actor’s tool of communication and analysis of text. Despite of the usefulness of this verb, it is hard to apply to text. It means there is not only a lack of awareness about action verb, but also there is a major problem that none of guideline about actable verbs exists to help how to use these verbs. Thus, there are three methods to select action verb; (1)objects, (2)relationships, and (3)appropriateness. First of all, actors are necessary to determine either how they are going to make the other actors closer or further(acceptance/rejection), or how they will make the others pleasant or unpleasant. Also, the intensity of these actions depends on the relationship between characters. It can be defined as characters’ cohesion, so the action is distinguished into social relationships and personal relationships. A part of Act 1: the dialogue between Masha & Medvedenko from Chekhov’s <Seagull> was used as an example for actioning. The two characters’ conversation can be based on ‘the social relationship (acceptance/rejection)’ and ‘the personal relationship (pleasant/ unpleasant).’
