The Influence of Psychological Dimensions on Character Formation in Theatrical Performance
Awara Abdulrahim Taha, Ibrahim Ahmed Smo
This study titled "The Influence of Psychological Dimensions on Character Formation in Theatrical Performance" is a descriptive analytical study that focuses on the effect of the psychological dimension of the actor. From the beginning of the emergence of the art of theater by the Greeks until today، the theater has developed from time to time. Many schools، trends and styles of theater have emerged، all of which have paid attention to the psychological aspect of the actor in general، especially in the Stanislavsky school. Theory and practice have been worked on. This study consists of four parts: the first part consists of research methods and the second part consists of research theory. The psychological dimensions of a theatrical character are among the most significant factors influencing the process of construction within a theatrical performance, as they provide depth and authenticity, thereby enhancing the character’s credibility and closeness to the audience. The researcher believes that psychological factors such as fear, greed, envy, or feelings of inadequacy determine the motives that drive a character, as reflected in their behavior and actions during theatrical events. Moreover, the psychological aspect creates internal conflicts within the character, such as the tension between desire and duty or between love and hatred, which adds greater realism and makes the character more believable. The psychological state also influences emotions and reactions, such as speech, movement speed, and even facial expressions, all of which improve the precision of the actor’s performance. Directors and actors also benefit from studying these psychological dimensions, as it helps them understand how a character thinks and what motivates their behavior, thereby contributing to the creation of a multidimensional and convincing performance.

The anthropological, political, social, and psychological dimensions are important in this regard, because the person who becomes a refugee has been raised and educated within one culture, and when he enters another, he is confronted with similarities between me and the other. Obviously, the issues of human reality, refugees and the culture of migration are discussed in the novel. That is, in the novel, all subjects such as culture, identity and the other are reflected in the world we call the novel. In this context, Kurdish novels focus on the identity and character similarities of refugees and we have several novels on this subject. We study this subject from the perspective of cultural narrative. The refugee character in the environment in which he lives is constantly trying to adapt to the culture of the nation, because he has left his culture and identity and now must adapt to this new culture and not be seen as an apostate and find the environment in which he is a refugee and create a new identity for himself.
