This thesis examines my method of portraying theatrical characters throught the main ideas and dramatic theories of Denis Diderot, Konstantin Sergeyevich Stanislavsky and Bertolt Brecht. I perceive the themes of blending with a character and keeping a distance from a character as a question of sense and sensibility in theater, i.e. a question of conscious acting as opposed to acting which stems from the subconscious. While constantly rehearsing new roles and searching for my theatrical self, I came across three mutually contradictory dramatic theories and began to feel a need to confront them. In this thesis, I compare Diderot's Paradox of Acting, Stanislavsky's Method and Brecht's approach to one another while commenting on them from the perspective of my own acting experience. I further elaborate on my acting experience in the chapter about Letovisko, my second graduation play at the Disk Theatre. It is in this chapter where I answer most of my questions related to my acting. Another acting experience described in this thesis is my work on two productions of Bertold Brecht's Drums in the Night. I compare a version me and my classmates rehearsed in our second semester and a different, altered version we created four years later
