520 $a Analysis of the data rendered eight final comprehensive constituent themes, of which six were contained in all eight protocols. The other two were contained in seven protocols.
520 $a The experiences of these eight actors suggest that acting may be an avenue of both psychological and spiritual growth for those who undertake it with these possibilities in mind.
520 $a This dissertation explored the experience of altered states of consciousness (ASCs) by contemporary American actors during performance. The researcher employed a phenomenological methodology. Eight professional actors who self-identified as having the experience were interviewed after a period of reflection on the interview questions. A six-step eidetic reduction adapted from a procedure by Colazzi (1978) was used to distill the essence of the experience from the interview data.
520 $a The eight themes were: (1) experiencing performance as a spiritual practice connecting one to oneself, others, and the universe as a whole; (2) experiencing a heightened ability to give and receive in interactions with others on stage, free from the restraints imposed by ordinary life; (3) experiencing a heightened access to a spectrum of emotions, even those not socially acceptable, and the freedom to express them when appropriate to the circumstances; (4) experiencing increased self-knowledge, including those parts of oneself not socially acceptable; (5) experiencing a creative use of self, including heightened potency and effectiveness; (6) experiencing a post-performance re-entry process before returning to ordinary consciousness; (7) experiencing a state of flow which includes the following: (a) heightened clarity about one's needs and intentions; (b) suspension of critical judgement; (c) release from the constraints of time; (d) the alignment of the physical being with intentions; or the transcendence of mind/body duality; and (e) heightened energy; (8) experiencing ASCs as a significant factor in the satisfaction felt from acting.
