Abstract

Starting from the article by Leslie Forster Stevenson, professor at the Department of Philosophy and Anthropology at the University of St Andrews in the UK, entitled Twelve Conception of Imagination[1], which lists (without pretending to be exhaustive) twelve of the most used and influential conceptions on imagination, we have succeeded in identifying some of the most important characteristics of scenic talent. The actor or theatre pedagogue can thus use and work with the concept of talent, create creative strategies, develop different stratagems of practice and development, depending on the skills that will be trained.
