This article presents a theoretical and practical analysis of the methods of character creation in dramatic theatre and cinema in Uzbekistan. It emphasizes that creating a character in theatre and cinema acting is not limited to external appearance or movement but is a process of revealing the actor's inner psychological state, national spirit, mentality, and the profound depth of the Eastern soul. In theatre, the actor embodies the character fully through "live" stage performance, while in cinema, it is essential to convey inner emotions subtly and naturally through the camera. The article examines various acting methods, including those of Stanislavski, Brian Lenny, and Meyerhold, alongside traditional schools formed within Uzbek theatre arts—such as the dramaturgy of Abdulla Qodiriy, the directing style of Bahodir Yuldoshev, and the creative approaches of actors like Otabek Mahkamov and Yulduz Rajabova. Furthermore, it explores pedagogical approaches, training sessions, and practical workshops applied in character development at educational institutions such as the Uzbekistan State Institute of Arts and Culture and art colleges.
