Defamiliarization Effect
The Defamiliarization effect is when an actor plays a character without believing they are truly the character. The actor wants the character to be believable to the audience but not realistic, as this would cause the audience to think about the fictional story of the play rather than the moral or purpose behind it from which the spectator can learn from and use in their own lives.
This is in direct opposition to method acting, where the actor is encouraged to become the character, through methods of asimilating the attitudes and circumstances of the character, so that rather than playing the character, the actor becomes the character.
