| Sumario: | In the context of contemporary theater, the concept of the amateur actor has acquired a metamorphic character. Its functionality is no longer limited to an extracurricular activity, fractured from the professional theatrical climate. Whether it represents an incipient stage in the development of the theater practitioner or it is used in the elaboration of a new decomposed post-post-dramatic or performance language, the amateur actor rediscovers his new status. Acting in its primordial sense becomes vital in the amateur's development and eventual assimilation of theatrical systems and mechanisms, implying with it the transition to professional character. The role of the teacher-director is crucial in amateur theater in order to equip the actor with the necessary tools to perform a coherent and quality artistic act, but also to facilitate this transition from passion to craft.
