The processing and analysis of the collected data will refer to the Discourse Textual Analysis. Based on the analysis of the collected data and the construction of this article, it is concluded that the understanding of the actor's body, in an attempt to build his own dramaturgy, first accesses the comprehension of the dramaturgy of the body.
