artistic interpretation
Subjective creative rendering
Artistic interpretation is the particular vision an artist brings to existing material—how a musician plays a piece, how an actor embodies a role, how a director stages a play.
The same score or script yields different interpretations: Her interpretation of Lady Macbeth emphasized vulnerability over ambition.
The term acknowledges that performance involves creative choices, not mere reproduction.
